Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

I am not being difficult, I have always said that when anyone made a request I would be flexible but I have been strongly advised against doing this.

Deputy Gilmore made a good point that there are Members of this House, Deputy Crowe is one of them, who have not had access to the deletion list. I expect that if that is the case, any submissions Deputy Crowe makes up until 2 January will be respectfully treated as an attempt to ensure the democratic process is properly observed. I will capture that thought in correspondence with the council. That is as facilitative as I can be.
