Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I support Senator O'Toole's amendment. This is something about which we were all concerned on Second Stage. It appears that there could be a gross unfairness here. While I bow to Senator O'Toole's superior knowledge on this matter, it seems incredible that someone would have to serve a two to three year probationary period. I am aware that it has to do with the issue of flexibility, as he explained.
