Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

Before I examine the Bill and explain the position of the Government on it, I would like to deal with some issues that have been raised in the course of this debate. Deputy English suggested that recent developments in the Supreme Court had eroded the faith of the public in the courts system. Deputy Naughten referred to a loophole which we must reassemble later this week to address.
