It is important to note at this point that the money message issue is a vexed one, and this committee knows it better than most. Given the degree of annoyance that it has created and the queuing up of Private Members' Bills, for which this committee and others are having to watch and wait, I had a meeting last evening with the Ceann Comhairle and the Clerk of the Dáil on the matter as a further step to try to see an early resolution. Even the courtesy of advice that a money message will not issue would mean we are not left in a total absence of what is intended. That will be followed up again today and I welcome any input members might have on the matter.

I call Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire.
