Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

The Minister at one level acknowledges this when he said he was willing to consult with the Opposition. However, when it comes to putting it into the legislation, some gremlins have got a hold of it and have dragged the Minister back into the corridors of darkness. The Minister has let himself down. This was one area on which there was broad consensus where we could have done a decent job of work.
