I am aware of the amendment on which I am speaking. I am also aware that this is one of the last occasions on which I can speak about this issue. The Acting Chairperson knows the rules for Report Stage. I am conscious in particular of all the people who have taken the time to be here or to watch the proceedings at home. They are very hurt by what is happening here. Many of them have been in contact with me and I will welcome their contacting me again later this evening when the debate is over. I am conscious of them and I make no apologies for speaking for a little longer than the Acting Chairperson might like.
