David Norris (Independent)

Will the Leader request the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to provide Government time if the Bill is defeated in the Dáil? He was very dismissive of what I said to the effect that I had the right to ask questions. Of course I have. I do not need the Leader of the Seanad to tell me that. However, if he gives me that undertaking I will not press the amendment because it is a waste of time voting on this issue.
