Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I must take exception to what Deputy Coppinger said about the proposers of the amendment when she ascribed motives to them that were unworthy. Mentioning them by name was totally unacceptable. Most of us who do not agree with the Deputy's view of the world have always respected that view, and have always said if someone has a different view and believes it sincerely we will respect him or her for it. Unfortunately, with the treatment meted out to some Deputies and, in particular, the reference to Deputy Nolan for her views in this debate, that respect has not been reciprocated.
