Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

They know the importance of mandatory open disclosure. I think of people whose names are familiar to us all, such as Vicky Phelan, Lorraine Walsh, Stephen Teap, the people involved in the 221+ group, and the many others whose names are not known publicly but who have come to see us at our clinics and in our offices over the years to make the case for changes in this area. There is an onus on us, early in the new year, to get the Bill to Committee Stage, under the chairmanship of Deputy Harty, and through all Stages. Whatever length of time this Dáil has left, we should embrace the new politics and try to get this legislation onto the Statute Book.
