Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage. (16 Jun 2005)

Liam Twomey: A great injustice was bestowed on the Minister of State to have to read through all that. I read through the legislation's memorandum as well as the Tánaiste's speech on the Bill in the Seanad and I had a sense of déjÀ vu every few minutes while listening to the Minister of State's speech.
