John Dardis (Progressive Democrats)

Approximately one third of the membership of the House have spoken seeking a debate on the issues arising from the Supreme Court decision. While I could deal with the matter at some length, for the purposes of brevity the following Members spoke on the matter: Senators Brian Hayes, O'Toole, Ryan, Leyden, Terry, Norris, Jim Walsh, O'Meara, Maurice Hayes, Finucane, Coghlan, Fitzgerald, Ulick Burke, Browne, Kitt and Hanafin. While there has been a wide divergence of views, there is unanimity that the matter needs to be discussed. Nobody in the House has a monopoly on outrage. We are all outraged by what has taken place.
