Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

Two weeks ago I advised this House that Committee Stage of the Bill would proceed in the normal way. We voted last night on a decision to send the Bill to the select committee. It will proceed to select committee. Deputy Charles Flanagan is a man of considerable experience in this House and he knows well that he or any Member can attend any of the committee meetings in this House.
