Ned O'Sullivan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Now I want to tell the Senator, through the Chair, and this is my last intervention and I will not be tackling Senator Mullen again on this issue. I really do think he is doing an injustice to his fellow Oireachtas members by the broad sweep with which he casts us all aside as being involved in some kind of a cover-up now for the work we have done. We have done our work in good faith, every one of us here including Senator Mullen. How dare he imply that I or any other member here has a less valid point of view to argue and that we should be ashamed of what we have agreed here or voted on, whether we were for or against. We did our job according to our lights and according to the remit that we were given. I just have to say that I object to this. Is Senator Mullen worried about contraception? If he is against contraception and wants to row back the clock on that one, let him come out and say it. Let him not attack us.
