Developments in the European Union and Ireland's Presidency of the European Council: Statements with An Taoiseach
11:00 am
Colm Burke (Fine Gael)
I was one of the first people here, having served at European Parliament level, to ask for a change in how we deal with European legislation in both Houses. There is an opportunity for the House to be used in an effective manner to monitor and examine the agenda of the European Commission in order that we can flag what is coming down the road at an early stage. Both issues should be taken on board.
