John Paul Phelan (Fine Gael)

I echo the sentiments of Senator Boyle. This Bill came about largely due to reports over a year ago on the involvement of Irish businesses in the global arms trade. I accept the amendment as stated by the Minister of State but I agree with Senator Boyle that we could usefully have a more regular discussion of these issues when the annual report is produced in the Seanad. The report could be discussed at the Joint Committee on Enterprise and Small Business in addition to the two Houses. Perhaps the Minister of State has some ideas for a direction in this regard.
