I will speak to the section. A substantial number of amendments in this section have been ruled out of order. I did not make that ruling; it was a decision of the Cathaoirleach. I dispute what Senator Gavan said. I spoke at length on section 2 and its various elements and set out the rationale behind the parameters, including the rationale for the period of six months. He may disagree with me but I addressed the matter in some detail. The parameters of the Bill are set out under the Government's decision. Those parameters are reflected in this section, and those are the parameters with which we are advancing.
