Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I assure the House and the Deputy that we will get that time. To be clear, it is being referred to the justice committee for its scrutiny. It will then come back to this House for a full debate, which the Government wishes to be given plenty of time and a vote by every Member. It will then go to the other House for a full debate and a vote by every Member because while I am very much in favour of the EU migration pact and do not make a secret of that, and the Government intends to opt in, it absolutely deserves and requires proper scrutiny in both Houses. The justice committee is the first step but there will be a full debate and vote in this House.
