During the Dáil debate on the Bill, the Minister gave Members all the information he said he had available, given that the hypothetical situation of an event that may or may not take place in six years' time was being discussed, and that was fair enough. He has given the reasons for the rushed legislation. I again put it on the record that the last-minute approach taken is not an acceptable way to legislate, in particular for an event of this magnitude.

I have a couple of questions regarding issues on which I am not 100% clear. Although the Minister is very welcome to the committee, a request was made for the IRFU to attend, not the Minister, to see if any more information could be prised from it.
