Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Reflection is a very important part of the democratic process. When people raise issues of concern and in the public interest those should be reflected upon. This Bill is on Committee Stage in the Seanad and has to take its course there where Members will want to contribute and do their business before it comes here. We are not guillotining Bills any more. Let people have their say as they wish. The Minister of State, Deputy Corcoran Kennedy is perfectly correct to reflect carefully on issues raised by Deputies from any part of the House or indeed by Members of the Seanad.
