Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Second Stage.
Surely it is appropriate that I should be able to bring in legislation dealing, for example, with some aspect of the environment after writing it from scratch. I should have access to a draftsperson. The Leader of the House mentioned yesterday that we had access to one, but she was incorrect. The one time I had to go through the process of developing a Bill, I had to hire a retired parliamentary draftsperson.
