As Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett is aware, the clerk to the Standing Order 112 Select Committee responded by requesting that an arrangement be made for the motion to be tabled before 15 June. She made the point that when the committee had considered the proposal, it had heard evidence from officials from the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and reviewed submissions from various stakeholders. It formed the view that the proposal did not comply with the principle of subsidiarity and summarised its reasons for forming that view. Under Standing Order 114, when a committee drafts a reasoned opinion, it submits it to the Dáil by way of a report and the Chairman tables a motion which shall be given priority on the Order Paper in accordance with Standing Order 30. Such motions are generally decided without debate, but a 40-minute debate has been arranged on this occasion on foot of the views expressed by Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett. I ask the Deputy to accept this.
