Eugene Regan: What is the procedure? The committee which is supposed to be examining Senator Callely's issue is meeting today at 12 o'clock. Are we going to have an opportunity in this House to receive the report from that committee, or is it intended that the matter be concluded by that committee?

Eugene Regan: I move amendment No. 7: In page, 6, line 29, before "person" to insert "developer or any other". This is an amendment which I believe has been discussed previously.
