Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Obviously, if one tries to give a direction to a court stating such a decision must be decided by such a date, how does one know the arguments that are going to arise? How does one know the other objections or elements that might be raised? One just cannot do it. I refer to the utter separation of the Judiciary from the Oireachtas. Deputy Mac Lochlainn's Bill might be well-intentioned but he cannot give directions to a court through the parliamentary system.
