Steven Matthews: Briefly, before I speak to amendment No. 1, it is important to set out clearly how we got to this stage, because there is a narrative out there that in some way this Bill is being rushed through.

Holly Cairns: I would not usually bring such a local and specific issue to the notice of the Taoiseach, but he is not the first Taoiseach I have brought this matter to the attention of because it has been going on for so long and is so desperate.
