Billy Timmins (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

Given that we will probably not get through more amendments and this has been rushed, and while each year a document is laid in the Library or an update on the overseas operations for the year is given to the committee by the Minister, would he give a commitment to come into the Dáil each year, rather than into the committee, to report on what is taking place because we are going through a serious period of transition? I understand the Minister gave a commitment to lay a document before the Seanad.

Will the Minister give a commitment to come to the House on an annual basis to report on how this system is operating?
