Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour) | Oireachtas source

Amendment No. 16 is not accepted for two reasons. I am happy to give the information and we had this discussion in the Lower House. What the Senator is asking is that I cause a report to be made on information that is already in the public domain, as I have given it to the Dáil and answered on it by way of parliamentary questions. It can be answered and updated at any time. I do not intend to put it in as a formal part of legislation to give a single report when it should be answerable to a Member of the Oireachtas as a matter of course.
