Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 July 2013
558. Deputy Regina Doherty asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will provide, in tabular form, the number of amendments to legislation he proposed during Committee and Report Stages in Seanad Éireann in 2012; if he will provide in tabular form the number of his amendments accepted; and if he will indicate in tabular form the number of amendments accepted from Members of the Seanad, broken down by Senator. [36440/13]
View answerIn view of the volume of legislation emanating from my Department and the number of amendments tabled in the Houses it would require a disproportionate amount of resources to extract the information sought by the Deputy from Departmental records. The information sought is, in any case, publicly available on the website of the Houses of the Oireachtas which traces the passage of each Bill, the amendments tabled by the sponsoring Minister and members and those agreed by each House.
