Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

The entire purpose of the A, B and C lists was to give an indication to Members, as they requested, as to what priorities were likely to come before the House in the immediate term and so forth. If the purpose of producing the C list is to ask the reason the Bills are not on the A or B list, and the House goes through this seriatim every week, what is the purpose of producing the C list, if the Opposition or individual Members thereof suggest they should be on the B or A list? This goes on in every term.
