Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour) | Oireachtas source

As a short amount of time remains I will add to the point made by Deputy Nulty on Councillor Dermot Looney's motion at the Labour Party conference. The motion was never taken and was disposed of by way of referring it back to the executive. The party leadership was not sure how the motion would fare and whether it would be passed. There was a strong possibility it would have been defeated. South Dublin County Council voted on a similar motion last week and it was defeated.
