Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed)
1:00 pm
David Norris (Independent)
The Minister of State will presumably be laying the draft regulations before the Houses of the Oireachtas. Perhaps he will clarify whether this will happen and whether this will be taken with debate because we are familiar with a number of situations where matters were taken without debate. I am assuming that these regulations will be laid before the Houses, although not perhaps in draft form. It may be that the advice of a committee that has a focus on this area, among others, would be very helpful at the draft stage before they come to the House, which might make for a more efficient management of business. It seems an appropriate amendment and I support it.
