Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

I thank all the Deputies who contributed to the debate. There were 17 speakers tonight as well as those who spoke last night, which is an indication of the sincerity and commitment of all Members in regard to this issue. I acknowledge the number of people in the public Gallery who have similar interests. I cite this as the reason we turned on Deputy Gogarty. It has nothing to do with differences of policy with regard to Opposition parties. It is to do with the fact the Deputy suggested we did not have a genuine interest in the issue.
