John O'Donoghue (Kerry South, Ceann Comhairle)

Deputy Gilmore, we cannot discuss the Bill. I have no discretion. The amendment provides for the laying of the scheme before the Houses and the methodology and the scope of doing this unfortunately cannot be discussed now nor can the legislation itself be discussed. I must confine myself to the amendments in from the Seanad because there is a constitutional imperative.
