Triple lock legislation timing

Summary

Deputy Berry asked when the promised triple lock amendments would appear and suggested briefings for Opposition defence and foreign affairs spokespeople. The Tánaiste said the amendments would come sometime next year and officials could provide briefings closer to then.

I am moving on. These are intended to be one-minute interactions.

I have a follow-up question about the triple lock. The Tánaiste said he would bring amendments before the House. Is there any indication of when we will see those amendments? My second question is intended to be constructive. What would the Tánaiste think about some of his officials briefing Opposition Deputies and spokespersons on defence and foreign affairs? Perhaps that could be arranged in the coming weeks.

It will be some time next year. It will not be before Christmas as there are only a few weeks left before the recess. When the time is right, we can certainly arrange briefings of Deputies by our officials.
