Joe McHugh (Fine Gael)

The Minister can, at times, be erratic. When we tried to engage him in debate earlier, he became defensive. Senators Paddy Burke, Bannon and others from my party have been calling for this debate for a long period and it would have been good if the Minister could have remained in the House for the duration of it. I ask the Minister of State to convey to the Minister that we do not have the resources to implement these guidelines.
