I appreciate that. Why is this to be done on Dáil Committee Stage rather than on Committee Stage in the Seanad? As a Senator, it is extremely important to me and not only am I having a discussion about waiving pre-legislative scrutiny in the committee that I am on, but I am also having to hand over the other part of my legislative role, which is in the Seanad.

The suggestion is that it would come in on Committee Stage, but the Bill will first go to the Seanad. Why is the timeline such that it will be taken on Committee Stage in the Dáil and why are the drafters not working with a view to it being ready at least when it comes to Committee Stage in the Seanad such that it will be able to go through the process we would expect in a democratic institution?
