Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I will cut to the quick. While I might not sound as passionate as my colleagues, I understand what they are saying. I know the Minister is a most reasonable and caring man. He has heard the arguments and, although I will not repeat them, they are overwhelming. Those we have been discussing are the weakest and most infirm of our people. While they cannot speak for themselves, my colleagues have spoken eloquently for them. I know the Minister has a heart. I believe there is something he can do to meet this situation and I genuinely plead with him to meet it.
