Yes, and the Deputy’s point is very well made about the comments made by the Library and Research Service when it got the legislation - I take all that - but where are the Members? This is not the first time we have arrived at a point where debate on legislation is to be concluded early because there are not people here to discuss it. If there is one big problem with this Dáil, although there are probably many, it is that we are not seeing sufficient intensive debate on legislation.
