Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

Accusations are being made that people are dishonest, are hypocrites, and are this, that and the other. The Deputy is entitled to throw out such accusations, but I am confident that the intention here is in the public interest. The Bill provides powers that will allow for fines if somebody operates without a licence. That is what I want to put into law as quickly as possible.
