I am very grateful to the Cathaoirleach for his indulgence. It has come to my attention that remarks I made about non-nationals during my contribution on the Taxi Regulations Bill 2013 earlier today have been misinterpreted. I wish to unreservedly withdraw the remarks and apologise for any offence caused. I fully acknowledge and respect the contribution of non-nationals to the life of Ireland and I clearly stated at the time that my remarks should not have been interpreted as discriminatory to anyone.
