I agree with the previous speakers. I am on the record as being against this Bill, as it stands. It is causing so much confusion and the rumours are off the charts. While we all received emails and such, there is governmental and diplomatic procedure on this. The proper way to go on this is through the Seanad because that is where the Bill is being discussed. That is the safest way to go. We will be in dangerous territory if this is sent to the courts. No matter what House we are in, we are all legislators and it is through dialogue, discussion and proper information that an end verdict is achieved of trying to do the right thing and not doing the panicky thing and getting it wrong. Therefore, I am in agreement with the previous speakers in this regard.
