Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

I am duty bound to oppose today's Order of Business given the Leader's commitment on yesterday's Order of Business that a debate would be provided for today on the implications of last week's Supreme Court decision. It would be wrong of this House to go about its business today without providing an hour or two for such a debate. We would prefer to have a debate with the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform but if that is not possible we will debate the matter ourselves.
