Report Stage amendment deadline
The Leader promises to examine the short deadline for tabling amendments to the Consumer Protection Bill so Members have a fair opportunity to participate.
Senator Darragh O'Brien mentioned the deadline for the tabling of amendments. We will certainly look at that issue, as we want everybody to have an opportunity to table amendments. I am not aware of the circumstances, but we will look at the issue.
On the issue of pyrite remediation, I suggest it is a topic to be discussed in a Commencement debate. I expect the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Alan Kelly, and the Minister of State at that Department, Deputy Paudie Coffey, to be in the House on numerous occasions between now and the end of the session. As one of the debates will be on urban regeneration, it may be possible to raise the issue if the Senator does not seek to debate it by way of a Commencement matter.
