I am not sure what the Taoiseach means by that last remark. It has often been made by some of his Ministers as well. Is he suggesting that we put those Bills through on the nod? Many pieces of legislation that have gone through this House have got inadequate time and scrutiny. The Taoiseach knows that. He has Ministers who would like to dispense with Parliament, make law in their offices and deal with the media outside.
