Defence (Amendment) Bill 2011: Committee Stage
4:00 pm
Caít Keane (Fine Gael)
I have nothing hidden beneath or above the surface. I have studied the Bill. I spoke on it yesterday and am speaking on it again today. I corrected the Order of Business for the simple reason that I thought Senator Mullen was being selective in what he was saying. We have a rule in this House when the person is not here to defend themselves. We do not have time on the Order of Business to discuss a Bill and put the entire issue before the House. That is the wrong place to raise it.
