Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)

——as I would have liked to have made certain points about it. Although I have not had a chance to check the record, I am sure that about 30 years ago the then Senator Mary Robinson introduced private Bills of various kinds. I am sure she let them be debated because proposals can benefit from debate and can always be resubmitted later. It is certainly not this side of the House that is running away from debate.
