Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

Could we be assured that in backing what is the sentiment of the House in regard to discussing and debating European legislation the Minister of State would also promote the provision of resources for that purpose because it cannot be done in a vacuum? Resources need to be provided if we are to take on that role. It is not enough for the Minister of State to say that she supports the proposal and that it is the way to proceed; she needs also to fight the case in terms of resources.
