Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail)

On a procedural point, which is probably for the Acting Chairman, Deputy O'Reilly, in the event of there being amendments from the Seanad, the Dáil will not be in session to agree them and, therefore, the legislation cannot pass. We all agree that we need to get this passed. Is there any provision for the Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality, on behalf of the Dáil, to take any amendments that may come from the Seanad at a special meeting?
