Criminal Justice Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages
4:00 pm
Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)
The Minister has agreed again that we should make changes, but this only bears out the point that I made earlier that today's debate is a farce. It is a farce because we do not have people questioning all sections of the Bill. I have confined my arguments to my amendments because we do not have enough time to discuss the minutiae of other areas of the Bill. Neither have we Members from all sides here to give the Bill the scrutiny it deserves.
I do not like doing this, but I am going to call for a quorum as a protest at what is happening in respect of the Bill.
