Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I assure the House that the Government and everyone on these benches is putting the interests of the women affected and their families first. That is what has been foremost in our minds in dealing with this matter over the past week or so. It is not right for any politician or any leader of a political party to seek to appoint herself or himself as a spokesperson for all the women and families affected. These are people who can speak for themselves, and some have done so.
