Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

I welcome the Leader's comments. I had hoped to make a contribution on the issue of údarás elections but I felt precluded from doing so because they were not being dealt with under these amendments. We appear to have engaged in a wider debate. One of the difficulties of debating Bills on Committee Stage is that we may not reach important amendments. We are considering whether to give powers to a Minister outside this jurisdiction to engage in what is happening in this jurisdiction.
