Thomas Pringle (Donegal, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I agree with the points made by other Members on the rushing of legislation through the House. It is ridiculous that we are here for months, yet legislation is rushed through in the final few weeks of the Dáil term. I disagree with the rushing through of the mica legislation, in particular. The fact that only two hours are scheduled for Committee and Remaining Stages tomorrow is not right. It is wrong, given that the families affected have put so much effort into putting amendments forward and making this legislation workable. It should be taken on board. The efforts of the families should be shown some respect, given their plight.
