Pearse Doherty (Sinn Fein)

Ba mhaith liom cur leis an méid atá ráite agus buíochas a ghabháil leis na hAirí, go háirithe an Teachta Seán Power a bhí ag déileáil leis na leasuithe. Glacadh le cuid acu, ina measc cuid a chuir me fhéin síos, agus gabhaim buíochas leis ar son sin. Ní raibh muid ábalta achan moladh a ghlacadh ach sin mar a tharlaíonn. Chuir na Seanadóirí uilig agus na hAirí cuid mhór ama isteach ar an Bhille seo. I note that since I have been in the Seanad, the longest sitting was just last week when we were dealing with this Bill. It is indicative of the number of amendments, the toing and froing, and the passion that Senators brought to the discussion. I contend it is a better Bill going to the Dáil.
