The entire debate on this matter almost broke down as a result of matters revolving around a lack of communication, miscommunication and, perhaps, the issue of trust. While I agree with the general tenor of the amendment tabled by Senator Ó Clochartaigh, there is nothing to require the Minister of State to attend in the House and provide progress reports on how the implementation of the legislation is proceeding. I am sure Senators will monitor the Bill's progress very closely and will invite the Minister of State to return to the House and lay reports before it in respect of this matter.
