Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)

On a technical point, last week a subcommittee of the Joint Committee on Justice, Equality, Defence and Women's Rights issued its consideration of the Barron report. Since that report was made to the two Houses of the Oireachtas, for the Government to take that further it must be debated in both the Dáil and the Seanad. I therefore ask the Leader to arrange that at an early date so it might then be formally raised by the Government with its British counterpart. We should have a debate early after the resumption of sittings.
