David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Despite the presumptuous comments of Deputy Marc MacSharry, Sinn Féin will be happy to support the Bill. We have a number of issues with the Bill and it has flaws but, as I have said when I have supported previous Bills, especially Bills proposed by Fianna Fáil, if we support the principle and logic of a Bill we will support it even if we see flaws in it. We will allow Bills to proceed to Committee Stage and air the difficulties then. The same respect is not afforded to us when we propose Bills, but that is a matter for Fianna Fáil.
