Alex White (Dublin South, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I am not minded to make the section contingent or conditional on the referral of guidelines to the committee.

I value highly the input, contribution and insight of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children, as does the Minister, but I am not minded to make the section conditional or contingent on the matter going before the committee. At the risk of irritating the Members in the Chamber, no amendment was proposed in respect of making the section contingent on the ratification of the committee.
