European Financial Stability Facility and Euro Area Loan Facility (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage
11:00 am
Darragh O'Brien (Fianna Fail)
Like Senator Byrne, I have never seen a Bill with no explanatory memoranda. Could the officials clarify why the explanatory memoranda were not published with the Bill? I tried to get them before the debate and they were not available. That infringes upon the job Members are supposed to do, and this is very important legislation, which we support. There should, however, be explanatory memoranda with it.
