Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

To draft a response to something that has been deemed unconstitutional by the court takes more than rhetoric. It takes a great deal of analysis about the complexity of the legislation. The judgment is 42 pages long, covering a broad range of issues and the response has to be comprehensive and all encompassing. That is a matter on which the Minister will focus his priority over the coming period. We would like to think he could have that done by next week but that would not be possible. Ní féidir linn é sin a dhéanamh taobh istigh de sheachtain amháin.
