Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 18:

In page 60, column 3, between lines 20 and 21, to insert the following:

"(c) the benchmarks or domestic and/or international comparison against which its regulatory performance should be viewed,".

There have been occasions in which the advice Ministers received was so overwhelming that they had no choice but to follow it. The amendments provide that any advice provided to a Minister in regard to the discharge of his or her duty is published and made available.
