Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am not going to dwell on the matter because Deputies have outlined the details but the briefing paper laid before us by the secretariat and commissioned by the committee earlier this month refers to what constitutes policy and public concern or interest. Without being personal, this is a very important committee. I was a member of the previous committee and this could be one of the most important committees of the Houses of the Oireachtas. I genuinely wish the Chairman well in his role, but there is a need for the issue to be addressed. I say that in a genuine manner.
