A report does not have to be the same length as "War and Peace". It can be a page saying the issue is being dealt with. I do not buy the idea of confusion. We do not have a facility to write in an amendment saying a law will be brought forward. This is the way we are doing it. A report could be brought forward saying the issues are being addressed in impending legislation next month. Fianna Fáil will abstain on the amendment but I am not sure whether it would be passed on that basis. The Minister cannot give a commitment about Dáil time.
