Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank colleagues for their contributions. I will speak directly to the amendments in a moment, but with the Ceann Comhairle's indulgence, I might first address the various points that have been made, given that there has been a useful broader discussion.

I will start with Deputy Boyd Barrett. I am delighted to hear that he is all ears. I am not surprised that he is opposing the measure or that Deputy Paul Murphy said his grouping would also. Deputy Boyd Barrett has opposed almost all, and maybe all, legislation that we have brought through to try to fight Covid.
