Whatever validity there was about this cop-out argument a year ago, there is none now. They will have the report next week and will have the chance to test all the options. They will see the various possibilities and be able to bring forward change. As all of us, including the Tánaiste, have said, doing nothing is not an option. What do we have now?

When that is put together it adds up to a great deal more than a motion simply calling for something to occur.
