This is like playing Russian roulette. The last 15 months have been a torrid and horrible time. I listened to Deputy Howlin and other speakers. I bow to Deputy Howlin and his vast experience of doing legislation in this House. This is ham-fisted and a shambles. The Minister has been foisted on the Department of Justice as well as having her existing portfolio. Whether she sought it, I do not know. We wish the Minister, Deputy McEntee, and her family the best.
