Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

It is not agreed. The referral to committee, without debate, of Vote 34, dealing with jobs, enterprise and innovation, relates to an underspend in Enterprise Ireland of €12 million. Given that there is such a crisis for indigenous enterprises and their difficulties and failure to source funding, there should be a debate on why €12 million has been underspent in Enterprise Ireland. I ask the Government to allow such a debate.
