Barry Andrews (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

We have taken 40 minutes on a matter which we dealt with fully on all Stages in the Seanad and on Second and Committee Stages in the Dáil. If Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin were honest with himself, he would see there has been a considerable amount of repetition this morning. I accept some new points have been raised which I will address. However, there have already been long discussions on the issues addressed by these amendments for which there will be inevitable consequences.
