Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

I have studied the debate on the Bill and a continuous trend runs through it at all times. The fact that a recommendation was made by the group which advised the Minister of State on the Bill does not necessarily make it right. No one is infallible. We are not the holders of all knowledge, which is what debating is all about. It is surely people's experience when they debate a matter. One cannot continually say that a group did not recommend it.
