Timmy Dooley (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I will help the Minister by remaining positive, but I also want to address the partisan political speech made by the Minister for Justice and Equality yesterday. I will do so without seeking to counter the political points he made. For the next six weeks pro-European parties which believe it is important to ratify the treaty must desist from engaging in political sniping on this issue.
