I will be as brief as I can, so I will have to speak quickly. Article 34.4.6o of the Constitution states that: "The decision of the Supreme Court shall in all cases be final and conclusive." Our gardaí, soldiers, judges and our Uachtarán all swear oaths to uphold that Constitution. Many of our gardaí have died defending it against people who did not recognise the Constitution. We might not like it but we agree to live by it. If there are things in it we want to change there are ways we can change it within the law.

Professor Binchy and Dr. Cahill have both basically told us that the Supreme Court decision was flawed. It is an interesting point but irrelevant. It is the law and it was passed by the Supreme Court. If they wish to change the Constitution there is a way of doing it. As well as that, we have heard an extensive discussion by Dr. Cahill on something about which she has precisely zero qualifications.
