No, we cannot. The message to the Dáil is simple - we have considered it. I share the same concerns that have been raised here and I would like the Minister of State to respond in detail to the submission that the committee received from Christian Aid, which asked significant questions. There may be a technical reason for all of these issues but the outcome is pretty much as Deputy Barry described. The message may go back to the Dáil that we have considered the motion, that the committee requires the further information requested. I ask the Minister of State to give a detailed reply to the Christian Aid submission. I suggest that we write to the Business Committee informing it that the members of this committee in attendance have asked for a full Dáil debate on the matter. There is nothing else that this committee can do other than what I have outlined.
