Seanad debates

European Union (Scrutiny) Bill, 2001 changed from European Union Bill, 2001: Committee and Remaining Stages.
Many of the provisions in the Bill have already been in operation on an informal basis since 1 July. The additional obligations arising from the Bill will be addressed and implemented by all Departments as quickly as possible, and there is an anxiety that that be the case. The House can be assured of good will in that matter and of the bona fides of the Government, myself and the Minister for Foreign Affairs. We have already appeared before the committee on a number of occasions. The committee is under way and is doing extremely good work.
