The Taoiseach did not answer the question; he tried to divert attention away from the core issue and misquoted people affected. It is not about children under 16 years of age, although that will be the case if this measure goes through; it is about children under 18 years of age who are affected. Níl a fhios agam cad a dhéanfaidh an Rialtas as seo amach faoi cheisteanna móra mar seo. Rialtas é seo a dhéanann ionsaí orthu siúd atá leochaileach. Tá a fhios ag an Taoiseach gur sin an fhírinne. Is slíbhíní iad lucht an Rialtais. Níl focal Béarla oiriúnach ach an focal Gaeilge, slíbhín. Is slíbhíní iad.

Rinne siad iarracht an dallamullóg a chur ar dhaoine----
