Seanad debates

Thursday, 29 May 2003

I am concerned by the comments of Senator Quinn on the Companies (Auditing and Accounting) Bill, particularly regarding the Minister of State's intention to take amendments in the Dáil rather than here. All Senators will agree that we are doing an excellent job with legislation; we are anxious that it should be introduced here first in order that we can debate it in detail. I hope that Ministers take on board our dedication to the cause of legislation in that regard and that they will not treat us in a slightly cavalier manner. It is not fair of the Minister of State to table amendments in the Dáil without tabling them here, as then we do not have an opportunity to subject them to the detailed questioning needed. I ask the Leader to take Senator Quinn's views on board.
