Conor Lenihan (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

I am purely informing the House that I am not a lawyer unlike Senators Alex White and Eugene Regan. The Government is relying on the professional advice offered by the Attorney General's office through the Parliamentary Counsel at its disposal that such a clause is not required. Unlike Senators Alex White and Regan, I am not a genius in many different disciplines. I do not believe I am in a position to ignore the legal advice offered to me by the Attorney General.
