It would be remiss of me not to reflect again my vexation, for want of a better word, that legislation relevant to the committee membership's work was being taken on the floor of the Dáil Chamber at the same time as we meet here. It makes our role virtually impossible. It just happened that I had no amendments for the Bill and was supporting its passage but I had to get a colleague to make a closing comment. It is not great scheduling. It should be within the gift of this institution to recognise that it is not within our gift to cover bilocation.
