John Gilroy (Labour)

I welcome the Minister of State. I welcome Senator MacSharry's call that the Bill be debated in a non-party political and calm manner. I will be led by the Senator in that regard. I am quite certain that Senators Darragh O'Brien, Crown and Barrett do not intend to disrespect their colleagues in the House by suggesting that the Minister of State's contribution has been spoon-fed to her by some faceless bureaucrat, and Senator Colm Burke's contribution likewise.
