Patrick Costello (Dublin South Central, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I echo the thoughts of others and thank the witnesses for their powerful and very moving testimony. To be perfectly clear, and I think everyone here would agree, no party on the island supports this Bill. I can think of no other issue that binds us disparate politicians who disagree on almost anything. That shows the strength of opposition and how Her Majesty's Government has got this so wrong. In recent reports, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland commented on a host of different improvements and promised to make changes. Will Ms Teggart state if there are there any changes that could make the Bill worthwhile? Could the Bill be saved by amendments, or should the British Government simply scrap it?
