David Cullinane: I advise colleagues on the other side of the House to settle down and listen for a change. They have come in here with their scripted speeches attacking Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil because they cannot stand over their own policies. As I said, this could be a good day for the Seanad. I appeal to all Independent Senators to act independently and stand by the people who are being asked...

David Cullinane: I hope the Independent Senators stand up to the bully boys and girls on the other side of the House.
