I will do that too but I have to be conscious of the time constraints.

I welcome the tabling of the motion by Deputy Hogan as it presents an opportunity to discuss issues pertaining to competition policy and the Competition Authority. I found the Deputy's remarks on the lack of consensus on an agreed motion somewhat rich given that prior to the tabling of his motion he never sought such agreement with me, nor was any attempt made to reach consensus on an agreed motion.
