Vote 24 - Justice and Equality (4 Apr 2019) Marc MacSharry: I said at the outset that I appreciate Mr. O'Driscoll does not have the relevant personnel with him today but I am being either opportunistic or efficient in the use of time.

Vote 24 - Justice and Equality (4 Apr 2019) Marc MacSharry: -----so that they do receive the appropriate level of inquiry.
