Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

What the Deputy just said does not tally. We are fundamentally changing the way appeals are being held by providing greater capacity to deal with the applications and appeals in a faster and speedier way. I say to both Deputies that the legislation is important and has been approved by Government. It is in the Seanad this week and will move through this House next week.

People object in this country. We have a democracy. I do not think we should be using language like "they would be dealt with in another way". I do not know what that means.
