I wish to mention three aspects while the Minister is here and because the commission has been mentioned. Before the Minister came in here I raised a procedural point. I believe a section on the commission should be inserted into the Bill. Also, its membership should have to come before Dáil Éireann for approval. The events of the past weekend have clearly brought home to us that is the case.
