Olwyn Enright (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

I want to make a point in objection to this proposal. The Taoiseach has referred to the urgency of this matter, but the Minister for Finance still has to make regulations under some amendments, particularly the one dealing with the new issues that are being proposed today. Therefore, it is not as if this is something that will be enacted into law once it is completed in the Seanad. Regulations have to be made anyway, and logically we should have more time in this House to discuss it because the Minister still does not have all the work done to put it into action.
