Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I ask the Taoiseach to formally circulate to every Member of the House the exact documentation circulated to 41 members of the German Parliament. I find it incomprehensible that such documentation will not be made available to Members of this House given that German parliamentarians have it in their possession. It is the very least to which Members of this House are entitled. I wrote to the Taoiseach two weeks ago to ask for cross-party engagement on treaty reform and the proposals that may emerge in December. He refused on that occasion and has not circulated any proposals for the meeting in December. It is important we engage as a Parliament in a more substantial way with potential treaty reform.
