It is about the timeframe. Is the Minister saying that there is no doubt in his mind that the timeframe will not shift and that I will not be told in a week's time or two weeks' time that there still was not enough time? I know it is his intention to see this brought forward as an amendment on Committee Stage but it was also his intention that it would be part of the general scheme. My concerns are not necessarily about the Minister's intention or commitment to the policy but rather about things shifting in such a way as to prevent me from having any input. Will the Minister confirm that there is no doubt that the intention of this policy will be in the legislation in the Dáil Chamber?
