Pat Carey (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

I agree with the Senator that we must engage in this debate on an ongoing basis. I sang from the same hymn sheet as him for many years when I was a member of the European affairs and the European scrutiny committees. Sometimes one thinks nobody listens to what one says, but they do. Here is the primary place where that debate should take place. I will convey Senator Donohoe's views and concerns to the Minister and we will attempt to address them at the earliest possible opportunity.
