If Deputy McGrath is serious about wanting the independent report and so on, what is wrong with Deputy Doherty's solution? We would finish the scrutiny and pass a report which would include reference to the need for an independent report. The Minister has said he will finance that, which means the authors of the report could get working on it. Then, before having Committee Stage, we would have the report in front of us and it would inform our work. What is the rationale to delaying agreeing a scrutiny report until we have this technical report? One would only do that if one wanted just to delay it and delay it and delay it. We can agree both things today, tomorrow, Thursday or whenever else.
