Twenty-seventh Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2004: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

4:00 pm

Liam Fitzgerald (Fianna Fail)

I am glad he has a combative style and it is particularly welcome on an issue of such fundamental importance. Surely every country has a duty to address problems related to the welfare of society. This is one such problem and the Minister has a statutory and constitutional duty to solve it. There is no point arguing that a court decision in England or elsewhere would give one greater insights. We have a problem and the Minister has a duty to act on it. Any delay or tardiness on his part would not be appreciated by the public at large. I welcome what the Minister is trying to do and I fully support him.
