I welcome the publication of the heads of the Bill early this morning. At least people need not now speak in a vacuum but with something on which to go. In order to be positive and move forward this very important issue I suggest to the Leader and to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges that they make the Seanad Chamber available again to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children if it requires it.

That issue has been dealt with.

Perhaps it has but I am raising it anyway as a point of information.

It was dealt with yesterday.

I apologise if it was dealt with yesterday.

Does the Senator have a question for the Leader?

I am coming to it. I would like the Leader to tell the Chairman of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children that significant and serious discussion on the heads of this Bill will be necessary and that every Member should have an opportunity to listen to all information available and there should be no time restriction. Any competent professional body who wishes to make a submission to the committee should be facilitated. This meeting might run for longer than three days. This is an important issue and it needs to be dealt with urgently because there is so much public concern. We have a responsibility to try to move it on as quickly as possible to ensure people are adequately informed in order that they can make appropriate decisions when necessary.
