Rónán Mullen (Independent)

On a point of order, are copies of the Minister's speech available? Perhaps the Deputy Leader might take action in respect of this matter. It would be appreciated if something could be done to ensure that there will be no repeat of this occurrence. It is a discourtesy - I accept that it is unintended - to Members of the Seanad that copies of the Minister's script are not available. It is much easier to engage with what a Minister is saying if his or her speech is provided. Out of respect for everyone involved, ministerial speeches should be available from the outset.
