Yes. I am unfamiliar with the procedures.

I have more questions for the witnesses. We have been given a list of reservations. Can we apply reservations? How was the list of reservations compiled? Was it done in conjunction with the previous employment committee in the last Dáil? Were elected Deputies or Senators consulted? Why is the list three pages in length while Germany has submitted a list that is 30 pages in length? Has Ireland been over-generous in terms of CETA trade developments? Has Ireland been conservative in not protecting its forests, water, education and health? Many sectors have not been mentioned in the trade agreement thus allowing carte blancheliberalism to run through public services in particular, as well as environmental protection. How was the list compiled? Who was involved in compiling same? Were the democratically elected Deputies of Dáil Éireann consulted?
