Marian Harkin (Sligo-Leitrim, Independent)

A number of questions have been asked today but I have just one. Where does the buck stop? The Minister boasted to the House that he had made the right decision. As recent events show, he made the wrong decision. It is as if he was saying he was right all along but that, unfortunately, the Supreme Court was the problem. Everything was going well until it interfered. As a defence from a Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform that is unbelievable.
