On the same matter, procedurally this is something about which we need to be clear. I had to find the terms of reference on the Department of Health's website. They were not available or attached to the order of the House. We were asked, within a one-hour timeframe, to amend a motion without having sight of the terms of reference to which it referred. Procedurally, the Ceann Comhairle's office should insist that when an issue such as this arises, the terms of reference would be circulated to Members as well as the formal motion adopting them.
