Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent)

While he welcomed the process of putting a Bill together, the Minister denigrated our abilities. He said we did not have this, that and the other thing. I co-operated with the Bills Office. At the outset today I thanked the office for its co-operation and help. I understood that it would circulate the Bill to the Minister. I am sure it did submit it to the Department.
