Thomas Byrne (Fianna Fail)

I note with interest correspondence between the Minister, Deputy Shatter, and not just the Cathaoirleach but the Leader of the House as well. I would like to know what the Leader said in response to the Minister. The fact is that the Leas-Chathaoirleach, Senator O'Donovan, Senator Mullen and to a lesser extent myself raised a number of important issues which were not addressed by the Minister in his Second Stage contribution but which were addressed when we dragged it out of him-----
