Charlie McConalogue (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Carthy and I are at one with regard to the importance of ensuring that this is accommodated in the scheme that is put in place. As with those other points I mentioned, this issue will be accommodated through policy and guidelines so it is not necessary or appropriate to put it into the primary legislation. I assure the Deputy that such matters will be fully taken into account in the positive schemes that will be brought forward as a result of this legislation, which has universal support in the House. However, it is not proportionate or appropriate to include it in the primary legislation.
