Peter Burke (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is always the prerogative of the Government, in terms of the stated balance, to make policy and the Oireachtas to hold it to account.

I am not proposing to rebalance that but I assure the Deputy that the Bill is being treated with the utmost urgency from the Department of the Taoiseach down. That is why it has progressed so quickly. It got the necessary resources. There is no intention to sit on parts of this and not commence them. We will absolutely give resources to working through its commencement in a logical way.
