Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Members on the other side of the House complain about the lack of legislation, yet when I introduce a Bill they protest that they need time to consult. The consultation process on this Bill took place last weekend and I was grateful for it. I do not know why Members want to postpone Committee Stage for more than a week. It could not take them that long to consult. They must have very busy lives that they cannot consult widely within a week, be it by telephone or in meetings.

The Fine Gael Party members appear to be set on challenging the constitutionality of every Bill. They are probably fired up by Deputy Ring. He has that capacity. He is full of fire.
