Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

This is one of the issues we are dealing with and which we would like to bring forward, obviously during the course of this Dáil, but the work needs to be done. All parties were represented on the all-party committee. Is it suggested that, as the Fianna Fáil party is represented on every committee in the House, when that party comes forward with proposals the Government must accept them because there were members of the party on it?
