Much more common sense is spoken by Senators than by many of the external lobby groups. Having listened to debates in the House over the years, I have formed the view that Senators are reasonably sensible about the matter most of the time. It would be worthwhile to get the views of the Houses of the Oireachtas, as well as the 40,000 lobby groups outside the Oireachtas, before the legislation is introduced.
