Rónán Mullen (Independent)

I thank the Minister for, as he predicted, his brief response. I do not hold it against him that the response is so brief and unsatisfactory but I would be grateful if he would take this message back to the Minister. That is a philistine response. It shows absolutely no imagination and it shows even less respect for the process of raising matters on the Adjournment. The Department insults our intelligence by getting into a whole lot of waffle that is entirely irrelevant in its references to national cultural institutions given that this exhibition is not taking place in a national cultural institution. It then goes on to give the utterly spurious argument that, "Legislation governing exhibitions could be viewed as a form of censorship". It is a spurious argument based on a spurious comparison between this exhibition of human remains and other art exhibitions, which might raise issues of taste.
