I will. This House has a very important job to do this week. I wish that Members would focus on the Bill. If Senator Denis Landy takes comfort from shouting at the Opposition side and making political points and if that makes him feel better about the e-mails from parents of autistic children who e-mailed every Member over the weekend asking us to do the right thing in conscience, that is fine. Personally, I am here to do a job and we have a serious job to do. All that we, on this side of the House, are asking is that the Government takes pause. Nobody is asking anybody to destabilise the coalition, as some Members suggested. All we are saying is that the choices made in the Bill are wrong and that we have an opportunity to force the Dáil to look at it again and come up with fairer choices.
