I bring to the attention of Members that when the business committee met on Wednesday last, the FEMPI issue was discussed and it was a very important issue raised on the floor. It was decided that time would be made available for a debate in the Chamber on it. It was further indicated that the Dáil would sit on Friday next and on the following Friday, and that, if necessary, on either or both of those days, time would be provided for a debate on the FEMPI legislation. There was no disagreement with that proposal and both of the parties that have been raising concerns today were represented - very well represented - at that meeting.
