Diarmuid Wilson: How does one follow that? I agree with every word of Senator James Heffernan's contribution. I welcome the Minister of State, but I am disappointed that the Taoiseach has not spent more time in the House, apart from a few minutes on Second Stage. He acted like a school bully, throwing a box before running away to leave someone else deal with the ensuing chaos. I was disappointed last...

Diarmuid Wilson: This is important. This is our only opportunity to speak to the amendment, as the others have been ruled out of order. However, I respect the Cathaoirleach and his decision in that regard. It is a fact that Government Senators have been promised projects for their constituencies if they vote for the abortion legislation and this Bill. Hearing this may be uncomfortable for the Minister of...
