Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

I am no wiser as to why the first part of amendment No. 91 cannot be accepted. I cannot imagine it could be a difficulty for the Minister. If he claims it is already a democratic right, why will he not formulise it? I am taken aback he will not accept the right of appropriate bodies to advance consultations on regulations that could impact upon them.
