Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I understand the debate will take place tomorrow week. I am sure this is a matter for the Bills Office but if the amendments are being published a little later than expected, I assume Opposition Deputies will be accommodated with a couple of days to put in amendments if required. I ask that the matter be dealt with by the Bills Office in an appropriate way consistent with the timeframe we have in mind.
