I have a problem with the schedule as presented to us. Amendment No. 8 in my name deals with the new public body Irish Water. It is a major new semi-State company that will affect every householder in Ireland. The Minister's intention is to exclude this company from the provisions of freedom of information legislation and I tabled amendment No. 8 to deal specifically with that issue. I would like it to be discussed separately as a stand-alone amendment.
