Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)

I support this excellent motion, which is well thought out and sincere. I have lauded the Minister of State in the past for her work on her brief. If she is to be criticised, I will be vocal in that regard, but I will not do so tonight. I hope she will take on board what is being said here. The Independent Senators must be given credit for what they are doing. I urge Senators to support the motion unanimously so that it can be a motion of unity of purpose from the Seanad as a whole, rather than an individual group.
