Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I also thank the Ministers of State, Deputies Killeen and Michael Ahern, and their staff. I hope I did not upset anything between Senator Leyden and his Leader in this House. I would hate to do so. I understood from previous discussions I had with the Minister of State, Deputy Michael Ahern, that because this matter is non-contentious and has overrun, it was more expeditious to conduct our business as we did. The Minister of State, Deputy Killeen, mentioned time constraints may arise.
