I am happy to assist in this process. I want to accurately reflect the record. It is not true to say there is no oversight of secondary legislation at present. That is provided for in the sectoral committees. I want to be very clear on this. To make a statement that there is transposition with no Oireachtas oversight is totally inaccurate. We need to focus on what this committee can do, which is add value to the process in its liaising with the sectoral committee. It is important that the committee can do an additional deep dive into a directive to add this value.
