Trevor Ó Clochartaigh (Sinn Fein)

Tá mé fíor-bhuíoch go bhfuil deis agam labhairt ar an rún tábhachtach agus práinneach seo. Molaim an Ceannaire as ucht an rún seo a chur os comhair an Tí le deifir ionas gur féidir linn é a phlé.

I welcome this important debate and the urgency with which the Leader has dealt with it in that it was suggested yesterday and today we are having this debate. I do not concur with the cynics who claim this is just a ploy because no Minister was available to attend the House.
