Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We lost time here because of a series of objections to your good self, a Cheann Comhairle, and the ruling you gave in respect of Standing Orders. The Opticians Board has to be subsumed into the Health and Social Care Professionals Council. This has to go through the Dáil and it has to go through all Stages in the Seanad. It is an urgent piece of legislation dealing with a critical element of the health care industry. It is not true to say it is not urgent, because it is. It would have happened in the last week of business if we had not had the disruption from the far side.
