Deputy Mac Lochlainn always gets very excitable when he is being challenged - he should just wait. Sinn Féin may be serious about the outcome it wants. Unlike others I am prepared to give at least some of its Members the benefit of the doubt that they are serious - although I wonder when I hear the remarks I have just heard. If they wanted the outcome they claim and wanted to serve the women of Ireland by ensuring there is legal clarity and a proper solution to this problem, they would not play games with a motion calling for something to happen at some stage.
