This provision qualifies as what the former Taoiseach, Mr. Bertie Ahern, characterised in the Dáil as "waffle". It is merely stating that the procedures committee should do what it is supposed to do, nothing else. It is absolutely redundant. Why is there a reference to the need for the selection process to comprise comprehensive procedures? Surely this simply means that everything that needs to be done should be done. It reminds me of when I was taken by Mr. Meat Loaf to an exclusive restaurant in New York and he sat down and said, "We will have everything twice." The provision is balls, basically.
