Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

In this instance, we have to amend an Act of which the Supreme Court has struck down one section. Another one or two sections may be at risk. This does not change any of the other Acts. We will do this quickly and efficiently in the interests of our children and their parents. That is the Government's commitment. I thank Deputy Ó Caoláin for his support in enacting this legislation as soon as we have it ready.
