Michael Finneran (Longford-Roscommon, Fianna Fail)

——attempt to close down by means of this Bill, other economic activity in this country.

I assure the House that the reaction from the farming and business community and the ordinary people in my constituency is that this is a crazy Bill which is based on all types of ideology that does not meet the needs or the future needs of this country. It should be disposed of as soon as possible. I ask that this House votes this Bill down in a way that will give a message that this type of nonsense should not come onto the floor of this House.
