Danny Healy-Rae (Kerry, Independent) | Oireachtas source

None of us condone hatred of any creed or description. It can be interpreted differently when the laws are being enforced due to the Government not explaining thoroughly what it is actually hitting at. It is covering everything with this. We do not know what we cannot say or what we can do, but the Government will find a way to cover it. Then, a fellow will pay the piper if the tune does not suit.

I cannot see how the Government expects to ram this through tonight or how it can be fair. Those in the Government are at the end of their tether. We will debate it under the next Government, if we are here. It is not being fair to the people. You tried to ram it through here, the whole lot of you, except for our few Independents.
