I ask the Members, through the Cathaoirleach, if they felt a half hour at this stage would complete Committee Stage? I have been checking the amendments which have been disposed of, and a large number are linked and have been discussed together. Perhaps the Members could indicate if a half hour now will complete Committee Stage? I do not know how many amendments are left to be discussed.

Some 20 amendments are left to be discussed. I doubt if we would complete Committee Stage in that timeframe.

The Cathaoirleach doubts that a half hour would be enough. I am not seeking to disrupt proceedings.

I am only giving my opinion. I do not know what other Members think.

It is up to other Members of course.

I have been crossing them off as they have been disposed of.

There are still 20 amendments and any amendments grouped with these to be discussed.

That would not get done in a half hour. I thank Members.
