Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I had a brief discussion with the Minister and he is very anxious to get the submission. I ask the Leader to invite the Minister to the House. There is vast experience in the House on this issue. It is, I hope, a helpful suggestion to the Government which would save a considerable amount of money and, in the circumstances, I feel it is worthwhile. As part of a constructive and very helpful Opposition, it is appropriate that I would put forward the proposal. I would like the opposite side of the House to look at this situation. I will certainly put down a matter on the Adjournment if I cannot get results directly. I ask the Cathaoirleach to accede to that on Wednesday, if possible.

I second the amendment to the Order of Business proposed by the Leader of the Opposition, Deputy Darragh O'Brien.
