Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I do not agree with what Deputy Ó Caoláin has said. It is important for the operation of this legislation to continue.

They will not be tolerated in this democracy.

Question, "That the proposal for dealing with No. 10 be agreed to," put and declared carried.
