Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The agreement says what it says, which is that the Government will facilitate the passage of legislation. We also have an agreement in respect of the support of the major Opposition party in passing the budget, which is facilitating the budget without writing it. As I stated earlier, I would prefer to let the committee do its work and let it give its views on the findings of the commission. The agreement also states the Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil parties reserve their right to adopt different positions regarding any consequential legislation or resolutions being debated by the Oireachtas. This is what the agreement states and I am quite happy to allow the committee to do the work for which we established it. It allows for different points of view. Let us wait and see what recommendations it brings forward.
