There is a real contrast between what the Minister has provided for in the legislation and what Deputy Denis Naughten seeks in his amendment. One involves a docile act of laying regulations before the Houses, whereas the other is proactive, it is the complete opposite in that one must seek the approval of the Houses, or the House as the case may be, depending on the timeframe involved. It is meritorious on the basis of good practice in terms of parliamentary performance. I would, therefore, be very sympathetic to the proposition made.
