In light of what appears to be cross-party consensus that we must put a little more time and effort into this, I support the principle of the suspension being proposed, taking into account what the Minister of State has said. We do not want to in any way frustrate the work she is doing. There is an effort being made by IALPA and its members, and they really have no vested interest in this other than to be assured that the passage of this legislation meets the highest possible standard. In light of events that have taken place elsewhere over recent years, it would be prudent for us at least to be seen to be judicious in the work we do and give the greatest possible consideration to this Bill.
