Seanad debates

Wednesday, 9 April 2003

An important point was made by Senator Brian Hayes about the need to give, in a spirit of magnanimity from the Government, a reasonable degree of support to legislation that originates from this side of the House or individual Members on the Government side. If there are good ideas, let us have them in the interests of the country. It is fine if the Government wants to take the legislation over at a later stage or put its stamp on it. Who cares? Ideas should not be stifled simply because they do not come from within the Government or, as Senator O'Toole said, the Civil Service.
