Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I respect the Deputy's bona fides, as I am sure he respects mine, albeit one might not have thought so listening to some of his comments, but I hope he does. The transcript will show that he told the House that I did not bring anything forward in the Bill. I might not have agreed with him on every aspect of it, but it is okay in a democracy not to agree with him on every single thing. It does not mean that I am wrong. However, I took on board three very important points raised on Committee Stage, all of which the Deputy and others made constructively.
