Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I warn the Deputy that I do not want the debate to drift into what is the subject matter of the origins of the debate. Just because issues are in the public domain does not mean I want new issues and new material brought into it. The House should always be aware that Members have absolute privilege and they can exercise that absolute privilege. However, that does not stop a member of the public outside from taking an action against the Houses.
