Deirdre Clune (Fine Gael)

The Minister and the Minister of State both recognise that it is important to report on the operation of the scheme, but it is also important to have flexibility in the way it operates. The Minister may want to look at it on a more regular basis. Twelve months is a short time; it is a new scheme. The Bill provides for the Minister to prepare a report and lay it before both Houses of the Oireachtas, but Senator David Cullinane's amendment refers to laying a report before the Dáil only. Will the Senator clarify that aspect? A report should be laid before both Houses.
