Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

I am becoming tired of Ministers selectively quoting advice from the Attorney General and then, when they are asked for a copy of the complete advice, they say it is not the practice to make it available. Can we have the complete advice of the Attorney General or can we leave him out of it? It is an abuse of his position to quote a little from him and not be prepared to allow us to make our own judgments about what he said. One could pick a line out of any Supreme Court judgment, but if one could not understand the context it would be completely misleading. The truth is that we do not know.
