Sub-committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion (Resumed).

 

There is now a ridiculous amount of duplication. If one third of legislation is introduced in this House, and dealt with conscientiously and thoroughly, why then when it goes to Dáil Éireann is it still treated as if it has just been introduced? There are procedures in both Houses that duplicate each other. If legislation goes through a thorough period of analysis in Dáil Éireann, there is no purpose in repeating it here, or simply taking the amendments our parties put down in the Dáil and re-introducing them. That is not a good way to do business.
