The deadline is 6 July, which is literally around the corner yet we do not have the draft statutory instrument here this evening and the relevant committee does not have it. The draft statutory instrument comprises more than 100 pages and one can imagine the effect it will have. Are there going to be companies green washing? The phraseology includes words like "may" and "shall" but nobody has this document. It is a failure of the system that such an important piece of legislation on the environment is not available for scrutiny by the Oireachtas and for transparency purposes.
