David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is out of our hands as well, as the Chairman is aware. We got notice of it at the same time as members last night so it is done independently by the Houses of the Oireachtas. They make those decisions. Obviously, if we had received them earlier, it would save us a pile of work as well. I spent a lot of time last night going through these amendments and preparing discussion points so it would be helpful but, obviously, there is a lot of pressure on people. I certainly agree that it would be useful if was done a bit earlier but that is the way it is and the way it has been for quite a while.
