I listened over the weekend to people trying to justify this on various political programmes. What the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell, said on "Saturday View" has already been quoted in the House. He did not bring forward a single valid argument for this extension. I listened to the Tánaiste on Today FM on Sunday morning and, again, no valid argument was forthcoming to justify this. They advanced not a single syllable of sense in relation to this measure.
