Rónán Mullen (Independent)

Is léir go bhfuil go leor rudaí atá fíor ráite ag an Seanadóir Bradford. He picked up where he left off on Second Stage by saying some things that really need to be said. We should be grateful to him for opening up the debate in this way. I have listened with interest to the responses to the proposal made by Senators van Turnhout and Mac Conghail that the required percentage should be 40% rather than 30%. I hope Senator Power will forgive me when I say I was a little amused to hear her say she is not ready to go that far just yet. As I listened to her, I wondered whether it is a case of thinking one can have too much of a good thing.
