Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)

I acknowledge and welcome the Minister's acceptance of this amendment. He pointed out that it was deliberated upon by Ministers from the Government parties. I welcome the fact that it is a Labour Party amendment and I know Deputy Burton had much to do with it being introduced at various stages of this debate. I thank her for acknowledging most graciously that the Green Party supports this and pushed for it.

I am surprised by Deputy Morgan's comments about the Green Party having no interest in this matter.
