The responsibility for rushing this legislation largely resides with the Labour Party. It postures as the progressive friend of the gay community and yet allows a Bill like this to be rushed through with various rights steamrolled over. Shame on the Labour Party. Shame on them.

The Minister for Finance is a class act. Fianna Fáil made a big mistake in not making him its leader.
