Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Government is never reluctant to have a debate on any issue. If the Opposition wants to debate any particular Fiscal Council report, we will debate it. It stands to reason that a special report of a more crucial nature should take priority. We would be even more bound to debate that. However, the provision for a Dáil debate need not be written into every piece of legislation. Debate is the normal work of the Dáil and is arranged between the Whips. There is no issue.
