I strongly oppose section 7 because it is an attack on democracy and the people of this country. The most important forum in the State is Dáil Éireann. We must show it more respect and listen to its voices. Many of us have worked long years to get inside the gates, but now we are discussing forums. This is the people's forum. This is what the Government should listen to on such an important matter.
