Irish Nationality and Citizenship and Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

I appreciate the contributions of all those who spoke on the Bill, even those who disapproved of it. I introduced the Bill because of strong views expressed by a number of people outside this House, one of whom is Anne O Broin, who is in the Visitors Gallery. She is only one of a number of people who expressed concern that such a system could operate again. We should close this door immediately. The Minister's heart is in the right place and he has shown that today. I urge the House to pass this Bill on Second Stage and I commend it to the House.
