Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I too support Deputy Gilmore's proposal to recommit this legislation to Committee Stage. The system we have debated and attempted to amend in the past few weeks is not now in place. It is effectively off the agenda having been totally and absolutely discredited. During the course of the Committee Stage debate on this Bill the Minister undertook that if this system collapsed or failed he would take full responsibility for it. That is what has happened — the system has failed us and therefore I ask the Minister to accept his undertaking on Committee Stage to take full responsibility for it. The door is up above and I urge him to move in that direction.
