Billy Timmins (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

I agree with Deputy Gormley on that, but it does exist unfortunately. The Minister is caught between two stools. I am telling him that he is not going far enough, while DeputyGormley tells him that he has abandoned neutrality. He has not abandoned neutrality, whatever that may mean. I would like to see the Minister address this in a logical way. We will bring forward an amendment to this on Committee Stage of the Bill and I hope that others support us. I believe that the Irish public supports the Fine Gael position on this.
