Feargal Quinn (Independent)

A sense of urgency is needed in terms of legislation coming through these Houses because there have been too many examples in the past of something being permitted but nothing happening for a long time. When I first became a Member of this House I sought a date, regarding legislation on authorities that were being established, for the publication of their annual reports and I found there was great reluctance to do that. Now, admittedly, a date is put down each time. This amendment is worthy of support and I urge the Minister of State to reconsider it.
