Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

It is difficult to defend against the cheap political shot with regard to who defends the small or big player. The amendments would also undermine the intent and efficacy of the legislation. Added to this, much woolly thinking represented on the issue so far in the debate has had the effect of undermining the case made for two of the amendments. It is hardly the fault of the Minister if there is no Irish case law to rely on in this area.
