Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am here to convince people that this is the right approach, as I believe it is. I will go to any committee and to every highway and byway in the House to convince Deputy Murphy and others that this is the right thing to do. Of course, I only act on the permission of the Dáil. If the Dáil fails to support what is being done, that is its prerogative, as the Deputy knows. I believe we have done the work. When the House sees details of the work we have done, the alternatives and options we have evaluated and the way we have looked at technology and management, I think Members will be convinced we are doing the right thing.
