In fairness to Deputy Dara Murphy, he has outlined a clear roadmap. It would be unbelievable if the sub-committee were to fail to do due diligence by having representatives of the OECD and Department of Finance, as well as the Minister for Finance, come before it. Such meetings would allow it to obtain a clear and comprehensive understanding of the issues, report back to the joint committee and, if appropriate, add additional witnesses. My greatest fear is that members will engage in a form of showboating. The sub-committee has work to do in carrying out distinct research and producing clear recommendations. If it is appropriate, we should have further witnesses come before either the full committee or the sub-committee once the latter has completed its work. I support the amendment.
