Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail)

I will not be offended if the Senator does not include me in any roll call. However, I wish to put on record that the Government is sincere and determined in its objective to get this legislation right. We do not have to accept comments from any individual in regard to who is sincere and who is not. We are putting this legislation through the House and we are also putting in place the services to deal with this issue. I was disappointed that Senator Mullen, whether by implication or inadvertently, seemed to omit certain people who were in the Chamber at the time he made those comments.
