Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

There have been some brilliant measures. One could not make this stuff up.

I do not say the Green Party is bringing in bad legislation; it has the potential to introduce good material and we all share good ideas. As long this Dáil lasts I hope to see that only will the Green Party learn the style of office to which it may become accustomed but that it will become accustomed to managing legislation as it comes before the House. A lesson was learned here today by the Minister, Deputy Gormley, who came into the Chamber with his tail between his legs because he had to do a U-turn on legislation.
