Just before I do that I will point out to the Minister of State that I could have added in a number of factors to amendments Nos. 1 and 2. I did not put in everything. There are many things I could have put in. I really have put into this amendment the minimum that should be required and I will reserve the right, on Report Stage, to put in the other factors that I think we should be addressing before the Bill commences. What I tried to do was to have this slimmed down to the four basics that we need to get right. In that regard, and this is my final intersection on this amendment, I would like to indicate and ask the Minister of State if it is her intention to bring her own amendments in regard to any of those four building blocks that I have highlighted to ensure that they are represented in the primary legislation? I am trying to be reasonable in this regard.
