Liam Twomey (Wexford, Fine Gael)

I find it unusual that this legislation has found its way back before the House because this was the most significant issue with which I was obliged to deal in the lead up to its passage. A massive amount of correspondence arose from it and I am sure it was the same for every other Member. I am surprised the Bill has returned to the House on Report Stage as on Committee Stage it was made quite clear that the Department would do all in its power to try to resolve this issue before it reached this point. We will be left with a situation where no side will be happy with the outcome. This is unusual.
