Senator Burke referred to State bodies making submissions to Oireachtas joint committees. State bodies should be more forthcoming with information at their disposal when attending committees and what the Senator mentioned concerning the committee he attended is totally unacceptable and should not be allowed. The people involved should be written to, as Senator Burke stated they would be by the committee chairman in question. State bodies that make submissions to Oireachtas committees should put every item at their disposal to committee members for decision. It is not acceptable for them to attend and not be totally forthcoming with such information as they have to hand.
