Joe O'Toole (Independent)

Three cases of this nature were reported in one of yesterday's newspapers. In one case, four different family members were included in an action. When I read about the case, I wondered whether each of the four people in question knew what they were getting themselves into. That is part of the problem in many cases. The points made by the Tánaiste seem reasonable. I do not think she will be able to make the same argument in response to the next amendment proposed by Fine Gael, which is amendment No. 16. I think a stronger case will be made on that amendment.
