Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

The Government has introduced many amendments to the Bill, but there are conflicting signals. The Minister is telling us she does not agree to some key elements of the Bill, yet it is being rushed through this evening. For all the Taoiseach's attempts to put down Deputy Boyd Barrett, it is totally unacceptable that the Technical Group should not have the right to speak on this, if what the Deputy says is true.
