I call for the Minister, Deputy Shatter, to come in and address this issue and to check with his colleagues in Government. It would be a scandal if the Minister, Deputy Rabbitte, or some other Labour Party Minister were to convey any message to members of the Bar Council that it would be to their disadvantage in terms of Labour Party Ministers' attitude to the proposed legal services legislation were they to oppose the referendum on Oireachtas committees of inquiry.
