If the amendment were pressed and accepted, it would probably overly complicate and potentially delay the Bill. I have not seen any amendment passed with an open-ended insertion of "adequate funding and resources", which would be impossible to interpret. While the Deputy's aim in introducing the amendment is correct, I do not think the Bill would pass with this amendment in it. It would undermine the accountability role that the structures have to the Departments and the Oireachtas. I agree with the Minister of State on this.
