Cian O'Callaghan: This is not the responsibility of the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach or the Minister of State who is here per sebut in terms of process, this is absolutely unacceptable. I have raised a question about these provisions and we have had no opportunity to discuss this anywhere previously. This is our only opportunity.

Cian O'Callaghan: On Seanad amendment No. 3, was there any engagement with bodies, such as Threshold, which have expertise in this area?
