Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I accept the point the Minister is making. He could, however, accept an amendment on Report Stage saying the regulation should be discussed by a committee in the 21 day period. I am a little surprised, however, by what he says. Section 26(3) states: "Where the Minister proposes to make regulations under this section, a draft of the regulation shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas and the regulations shall not be made until a resolution approving of the draft has been passed by each House."
