Noel Rock (Dublin North West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Fianna Fáil backs the Bill. The Ministers, Deputies Katherine Zappone, Simon Harris, Michael Ring and Richard Bruton, and the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, have all backed this Bill in some form or another through the The Irish Sun campaign on this matter. It is an issue of commonality throughout the House and among all Deputies. I am aware that 30 Deputies recently attended a briefing on the matter. I recommend the Bill to the House and I would like to see its urgent progression as soon as possible. I will take it up with the Minister in due course.
