Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I mean the discussion of this Bill is not the right forum. We are trying to correct an issue before it causes a problem. The Minister is correct in that a Minister has an obligation to take these factors into account but we do not want it to be an obligation. It should not exist and the Minister should not have to deal with these people. There should not be any form of restriction for the people we are talking about. A Minister might take these issues into account and disregard them because of political views. We do not want that position to emerge.
