Jerry Buttimer: Unfortunately, Deputy Ó Caoláin, it is beyond the remit of the Chair. It is an interpretation given by the Bills Office. We have communicated to you on what we received from the Bills Office. The Chair has no involvement in matters regarding amendments, as the Deputy knows quite well being a long-term parliamentarian. That matter is concluded.

Jerry Buttimer: I reiterate the point I made to Deputy Ó Caoláin. I am very aware of the issues and I have met members of Epilepsy Ireland. I have had e-mails from members of the public who are directly affected by what is happening, but I cannot change Standing Orders no more than the Deputy can, and he is a long-standing parliamentarian also. Unfortunately, the Chair's hands are tied in terms...

Jerry Buttimer: I welcome Mr. Horan and Mr. Thompson to this afternoon's meeting. Like Deputy Kelleher, I would like to impress on the joint committee the importance of reaching finality with regard to the Cork flooding of November 2009.
