I agree entirely with Deputy Ó Fearghaíl. That is precisely the reason for the delay, namely, the individual Departments are required to do detailed work before the reports can come to the House for debate. The Taoiseach has required the Departments to speed up the work in so far as that is possible and as soon as that happens, if the Whips can agree a time, the Government is agreeable to that.
