Order of Business

Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)
This suggestion has been promoted by the Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs, Deputy Lucinda Creighton. Europe Day is 9 May and it is to the credit of the Ceann Comhairle that he has allowed MEPs an opportunity to attend the House for a discussion on European issues. This is important because a significant volume of legislation begins in the European Commission and passes through the European Parliament. The question of co-responsibility between the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament is very relevant in Ireland's case. I am not sure where I read about it, but there has been talk about this suggestion for some time. I look forward to the Deputy's attendance and participation next Monday.
