European Convention on Human Rights Bill 2001: Report and Final Stages.
I want to echo what I said on the previous occasion. I am absolutely delighted with the Minister of State's acknowledgement that an organ of the State is not an organ of the State for the purpose of this Bill. That is just wonderful. If he carries on like this, we could cure disease by saying that cancer is not a disease in the meaning of this Bill and we could cure thousands of people all over Ireland. It is a marvellous way to behave, saying that something that is fact is not fact for the purposes of this Bill. I love it; it is surreal.
