We are coming to the end of the amendments and, therefore, I will take this opportunity to say that Senator Higgins makes a very good point, which touches on what I said earlier in my own amendment, No. 108. I will not go back there because we have been there, done that and made a decision. We will ultimately account for that as we go out from here in the next few weeks. It is right that we need to engage. We have talked about the business of trust and about engagement. Many of us have come in here and engaged through amendments. We are now wrapping up. There will have been 137 amendments and we know what happened to most of them. That does not instil a lot of confidence for me, but it is not about me. This is legislation going through these Houses of the Oireachtas and it is right and proper to have some form of review. The Minister has indicated that he is happy enough to have some sort of review. It is important that we engage with people and instill confidence. I, therefore, support amendments Nos. 130 and 131. They make sense. I will wait to hear what the Minister says before I respond further.
