To give a detailed response to the Question would anticipate the will of the Oireachtas on the Bill. I do not propose to do so by way of response to Parliamentary Questions. I have already indicated that I am open to further suggestions, in the context of debate at Committee Stage on the Bill, as to how it should address the immigration-related aspects of marriage.
