This was very welcome because I do not think the Office of the President is mentioned in this legislation. If it is unmentioned then it is open to such scrutiny. I am open to correction because I have not studied the legislation and am only filling in for Senator Sheahan. Overall, this will be an interesting discussion as it is also on the schedule next Thursday for Committee Stage. There will be a positive engagement and I would like the Bill to pass relatively quickly. Senator Byrne is correct that there must be sufficient time to debate this but I would like it to pass without undue delay. The sections should be enacted and signed into law as quickly as possible. This is a win-win for all of us so let us win when we can.
