I do not always praise Fine Gael, but Senator Coffey tabled amendments on Committee and Report Stages, at which point I decided not to support the Bill. They amendments were neglected by the Minister ridiculously. This morning four or five Fianna Fáil backbenchers have come out and claimed credit for the changes to be made. Deputy Jackie Healy-Rae is also claiming credit, as is Deputy Michael Lowry. Credit is due to this House. If business had been conducted properly, I would not be in the position I am and the furore in the Dáil in the past few days could have been avoided.
