Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

In my experience of tabling amendments when in opposition, it is a simple matter to present an alternative wording to the Minister's proposal. The Minister of State has elaborated very well on the matter. It has never been my experience, either as a Minister of State or Member of either House, that I have had to rely on a document just published on the day of a debate. As that "bible" does not give any guidance on this section, I assume there will not be any amendments from Senators O'Toole or Henry in this regard in the absence of any recommendation or advice from the Information Commissioner.
