Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

If this topic is to be debated in the way the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform wishes, it will rub salt in the wounds of an injustice he has perpetrated.

Will the Ceann Comhairle reflect on this and allow the Government to amend the wording and focus on the reason for this debate, namely, to allow the Minister explain himself, not anybody else, and not to accuse or charge anybody else without due process? This statement is turning into an accusation, which makes a bad situation worse.
