Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

The events of recent days should remind us of the urgency of this legislation and should oblige us, as a matter of care, to proceed with it as quickly as possible. I do not draw the inference drawn by Opposition Deputies that we should delay and reconsider this Bill in greater detail. The events of recent days make it all the more important that we proceed with it.
