Deputy Clare Daly just made the point I was going to make. This would not delay decisions being made because a decision would have to be made before somebody could request the outcome of that decision.

I also do not agree that this would be an enormous cost because if it were an enormous cost to the Exchequer, believe me, this amendment would have been ruled out of order like many other amendments that could result in a cost on the Exchequer. I certainly do not accept that.

It is a very reasonable request. I would have been in favour of having it in all cases. Deputy Daly has limited it to where somebody has made a request. If this place has taught us anything, the "blacks" are online the following day. It could very easily be a case of somebody going to the transcript, copying and pasting what was said and then giving it to the individual. I do not think it is an enormous ask. It is a very reasonable amendment and the Tánaiste should accept it.
