Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I agree with the comments of Senator Maurice Hayes and Senator O'Toole. Regarding the communication from the legal fraternity, I would also welcome a meeting with them which I hope can be arranged. It is natural that they would be concerned about the right of access to the courts, the right to fair procedures and the right to be held equal before the law. However, all these points are a sine qua non of the constitutional protection in this country and, with respect, they are wrong. Perhaps a meeting with them might clear that up.

Will the Leader outline when the House is likely to deal with the Committee and Remaining Stages of the PIAB Bill? I know it will have to be soon as we will deal with Second Stage of the Bill today.
