Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Independent) | Oireachtas source

As I said earlier, I support these amendments and I intend to withdraw my amendment when we reach it. I would like to pick up on the point made by Deputies Ó Cuív and Ó Caoláin. Can the Minister assure the committee that the procedure which is currently in place, whereby statutory instruments are circulated to the committee as a matter of courtesy, will be followed when the report is laid before the Oireachtas? While I do not think a provision to that effect needs to be included in the legislation, I am seeking an assurance that the report will be circulated to the committee as a matter of courtesy in the same way that statutory instruments are circulated at present. I think that would address the concerns that have been raised.
