Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

Senator Leyden also made a good point, one raised here on several occasions, in regard to EU scrutiny and the possibility of having further scrutiny of EU proposals in this House. The committees are charged with responsibility in this regard. If they do not have sufficient time to deal with such proposals, I am willing to provide time for this House to do so. I believe that is a good idea, one to which I am amenable should the committees consider that they have insufficient time to deal with those matters.
