Seanad debates

Protection of the Environment Bill 2003 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] : Report and Final Stages.

Kathleen O'Meara (Labour)

On a point of information, I seek clarification of a matter. The Minister of State has presented a report to the House on the amendments made by the other House. I do not consider his statement to be a full report as it does not include commentary on several amendments. I do not know what the technical amendments mean, as required of me as a legislator.

I request that the Acting Chairman ask the Minister of State to make available to the House, before the end of the debate and in adequate time, an explanation of the technical amendments. Failing this, I ask that the debate be adjourned until such time as the requested explanation is available. As a legislator, I am not in a position to judge the technical amendments and their effects as we have not been given a full report.
