Ar an gcéad dul síos, ba mhaith liom fíorbhuíochas a ghabháil le Cathaoirleach an choiste as ucht an obair atá déanta aici sa phost sin. I congratulate the Chairman on bringing us to this important day. For those watching at home, this is an example of the Oireachtas doing its work properly. I commend all members of the committee for their diligence.
I support the motion tabled by Deputy Jan O'Sullivan. Like Deputies Lisa Chambers, Billy Kelleher and Hildegarde Naughton, I believe it is important that the heads of a Bill be published in tandem to indicate the intent of the Government because it is about ensuring there will be information available and a wide and sensible debate, if possible.
