Catherine Murphy (Kildare North, Independent)

I do not wish to confuse the issue any further but there is a strong need to have complete clarification before any statutory instrument is signed. Because of its vagueness, this has the potential to do damage. If there is sufficient time allowed to have a debate, a question and answer session, much of the questions could be properly teased out. If this topical debate is the beginning and end of the debate, it will be insufficient. A debate on this matter is needed within the next week.
