- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)
Denis O'Donovan: I hope the Senator will not be reiterating what he said before. We are trying to move on, because this is a very technical section. Members should realise that the more substantial issues might not get as much time as one would wish later on.
- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)
Denis O'Donovan: Senator Bacik, on a point of order.
- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)
Denis O'Donovan: The Senator knows well that that is not a point of order. I advise Senator Ó Domhnaill that we are dealing with a specific issue and he has made a point to the Minister of State. Clearly the Senator and the Minister of State differ on the interpretation.
- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)

- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)
Denis O'Donovan: You are broadening the debate to other areas. We should not debate referendums, as this relates to a simple amendment that has been ruled out of order. You have made your point.
- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)
Denis O'Donovan: That is not an issue for this section. This is the Title of the Bill.
- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)
Denis O'Donovan: With all due respect, Senator Ó Domhnaill, there are several pages of amendments and the issues can be teased out when discussing them, rather than in the technical Title of the Bill. I want to move on from this.
- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)
Denis O'Donovan: That has nothing to do with the Title.
- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)
Denis O'Donovan: With all due respect, the allegation was made because the Minister of State provoked Senator Ó Domhnaill on a certain issue. We should not go beyond that.
- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)
Denis O'Donovan: We are discussing the Title, and the Senator's legal expertise should allow him to realise it is very technical.
- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)
Denis O'Donovan: That is a matter to be dealt with in section 9. I urge Senators to be reasonable and deal with the technicalities of this section. The amendment was ruled out of order. Most speakers have already transgressed section 1.
- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)
Denis O'Donovan: You are using other sections to make the point. It may be more appropriate-----
- Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)
Denis O'Donovan: The Senator has referred to section 9, for example.
