I thank the Minister of State very much. I have not seen the Department's document and I would like to do so. It will be helpful. I scanned the Bill and the amendments today and I saw that I have two or three more opportunities to discuss the Valletta Convention. I do not want to Valletta myself out of it but I have opportunities to raise yet again the Valletta Convention in the discussions on two amendments. I do not intend to spend the evening speaking about the Valletta Convention again and what the Minister of State has said is great. I have not studied the text of the Department's document in great detail but I do get the gist and the measure of what the Minister of State has said. I thank him for reflecting on it and considering the issue. It is an important aspect.

Subsequent to our previous debate on the Bill, quite a few people from the Irish Environmental Network came to the House. I do not know whether they engaged with the Minister of State but they certainly engaged with me. They will warmly welcome these steps. Let us see the text and context of it. It is beyond us doing anything in the Seanad as such.It will be a matter for the Dáil at this point, I presume. Will the Minister of State clarify that?
