Niall Collins (Limerick, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I accept what the Minister is saying and everyone must acknowledge he has come a long way since the Committee Stage debate. Deputy Donnelly's proposal is acceptable to me and as Fianna Fáil's press officer is off-duty at present, the Minister is okay in that regard. However, I ask the Minister to give consideration to this matter because it pertains to people's respect and dignity. I am not trying to be populist or political about it.
