Brendan Ryan (Labour)

It would be better to delete the phrase, as we propose, and substitute it with "and shall be debated by Dáil Éireann within 6 months". It might not be a bad idea to lay the report before both Houses so that a debate could be held in the Seanad. I ask the Minister to consider this proposal while the Bill progresses through the other House. There is a real chance that the reports will be debated in this House but the chance of a debate being held in an already overcrowded Dáil is remote.
