Joe O'Toole (Independent)

It is my view, and I hope the Cathaoirleach will agree, that in light of the commission's conclusion that having regard to the issues of secrecy, accuracy and testing, it is unable to recommend the Government's proposal. The House has been misled on this issue on a number of occasions. It is crucial that we take an opportunity to discuss this matter, which has been discussed in the Committee on Procedure and Privileges and elsewhere. Dealing with a contemporary, topical urgent matter of general public concern enhances the relevance of the House. I hope the Cathaoirleach will concede and allow time to discuss the report.
