John McGuinness (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail)

I acknowledge there is an issue concerning section 4 and support the general ongoing review of the Bill in that context. Equity is a different issue but we must understand the complexities and try to focus on the intent of the Bill because activity does not replace action which is required.

I do not subscribe to the remark made to the effect that what Deputy Higgins was proposing was outside the law.
