Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

From previously being in the position of the Minister of State, I understand it is important to give 100% co-operation. Under the circumstances, if the Minister of State feels the Department is satisfied we can deal with Report Stage, and it would be of benefit to pass the Bill, I will concur with his request. The Leader of the House requires Bills to be given detailed consideration. Sometimes Bills are brought forward in the House in a hurry. If an early signature motion is required, we will agree to it. It is a matter for the Minister of State.
