Joe O'Toole (Independent)

This is a classic example of what happens. The Minister of State does not know the reason for the uncertainty that required the matter to be clarified, yet he has opted to make this decision based on the advice received. I do not blame him for that, but this is what is going wrong in Irish politics. Everything I have said is factually correct. I am a legislator and do not know what is being clarified by the insertion of the words "in weight". As far as I can see, this will create uncertainty. These are the issues at which we need to look. While this is only a minor issue, it is a mistake.
