David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I commend the Minister and officials in a range of Departments on the various briefings they provided for Oireachtas Members. They were very helpful in enabling us to speak to the Bill and in progressing it through the Dáil.

I want to register with the Ceann Comhairle our disappointment at the fact that many of our amendments were ruled out of order. Many of my colleagues have expressed that dissatisfaction to the Ceann Comhairle and we will take up the matter further with his office. We believed some of the amendments were in order. I know that it is the Ceann Comhairle's ruling, but this is the place where we record our views on the matter.
