Tom Kitt (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

With all due respect to Deputy Bruton, I have attempted to meet him half way by suggesting that this side of the House has no difficulty with holding debates on specific strategies arising from any NESC report. I referred to some of the important work being done by the council and I have no problem with that. Short of putting this into legislation, we have a process for agreeing Dáil business and, if in terms of holding debates, I have no difficulty with that.
