Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

——there must be a willingness on the part of the Government to consult about the matters that are required by law to be agreed by us across the House. I am not objecting to the particular appointment today but I put down a marker that the next time the Government deals with an appointment like this one in this way, the Labour Party will oppose the appointment.
