Deputy Pearse Doherty referred to the emergency legislation to wind up IBRC. This committee would look at the extent to which it was prepared in advance of the emergency legislation coming through the House. Was the legislation actually ready? Was it worked upon months beforehand or was it written that afternoon? Are there different types of emergency legislation where a Government might be prepared for something and then enact it or is it a case that all emergency legislation is more or less written on the hoof that afternoon?
