Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail)

Based on the brief I have been given, I am not certain that the issue in question is covered from the perspective of Senator Mullen's amendment. If a gap is identified, I will have it investigated before Report Stage. I am not clear at this point whether the Senator's amendment addresses the issue he raised but I will ensure it is adequately addressed if it is not already provided for.
