Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

I am not a parliamentary counsel, I have not read any drafting manual and I have no intention of doing so. I rely on the Attorney General's office for the provision of assistance in legislative initiatives and we abide by the advice of that office and the parliamentary counsel. I am satisfied that the drafting of the provision of the section complies with the best practice as set down by that law office.
