Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

This comes back to the position this morning, when the Taoiseach said he wanted to fast-track this Bill. I would like to have seen the legal advice the Minister of State has but because of the processing of the Bill that is not possible. There is a deadline for the Bill this evening. I will not hold up the business of the House over one word but it is an unfortunate precedent, as was stated this morning, that simple amendments like this cannot be looked at and given time.
