Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I thank Mr. Ó hAinmhire for that. It is an interesting perspective that there are varying views right across the board. There are many experts who would say that this Bill is entirely workable. Indeed, the Members of the Oireachtas agree because we have backed it.

I am struck by the idea that conversations are starting in other EU countries, I wonder how far advanced they are. Obviously, other countries are not as far advanced as ourselves in terms of nearly passing the legislation. I wonder are other countries at an advanced stage of what they are doing or are they still at the exploratory stages. Can we expect to hear from other EU countries on this issue in the near future?
