Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)

I am sure parliamentary draftsmen and civil servants follow closely what is said in the House on Committee Stage. Having taken that into consideration, they have given the Minister advice. It is not necessarily the case that the same procedure is always adopted for Bills that have a short Long Title and those that have a long Long Title, such as this Bill. I reject the aspersions cast on the Parliamentary Counsel as there seems no basis for them. Having taken account of yesterday's debate, I am sure there are good reasons for the position.
