Patrick O'Donovan (Limerick, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I would like to reply to the previous rant, which is all I would describe it as. The policy that the Deputy from Galway has such a difficulty with was broadly welcomed in parts of the west of Ireland, including counties Clare, Limerick and Kerry. It was welcomed at this committee. Nobody from the Deputy's party spoke in this way at the pre-legislative stage of this Bill or when the ports policy was being discussed here.
