Michael Moynihan (Cork North West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Again, our legislation gives an awful lot of power to people outside this House in terms of the CER. We have seen that it does not have enough powers to regulate properly some sectors we believe it is regulating. It gives the wrong impression. The Minister who is directly elected by the people should have power to distinguish what should or should not be put before the people.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
