Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour) | Oireachtas source

It is not a matter to which I have given any consideration, but, in the first instance, it is a matter for the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, CPP, to determine access. Is there an area in Westminster called the lobby area? It is a matter for the CPP to consider. I do not think there is as much buttonholing of people here as in other areas, just because of the layout of these buildings. I am not minded to put it in law. It is presumptuous of the Executive to propose it when it is a matter for the Oireachtas to deal with.
