Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The only assurance I can give the Deputy is that I do not think it is satisfactory that Report Stage amendments are published at the last minute on the final day allowed by the Houses of the Oireachtas. I certainly hope that before we take Report Stage whatever amendments there will be will be published at least an additional week over and above what is stated in the provision. That would allow Members time to consider the amendments. I will try to ensure that will happen.
