Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I welcome the opportunity to say a few words on this important legislation. It is sad that we must deal with this issue in such an amateur way. I am pleased the Minister and two of his Progressive Democrats colleagues are in the House this evening. Deputy O'Donnell does not hold the same views as the group here this evening. She did not show a united front in terms of the urgent need for this referendum.
