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

The Government has been under huge pressure. It has been said we are not moving quickly enough and not getting enough stuff done in terms of process and procedures. The legislation is key to underpinning what we do. I ask the Deputy to reflect on that. There will be a Committee Stage and we have had a lot of consultation over the last six months. We need to consider this very seriously. The Deputy would be the very first guy to jump up in the Chamber in the autumn to say the Government does not have one house done.
