I second the amendment to the Order of Business proposed by Senator Darragh O'Brien. I wholeheartedly agree with what colleagues on the other side have said about the press release issued by the Minister, Deputy Bruton. It is ironic that the two Ministers that have been asked to steer the legislation through this House are the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Bruton, and the Minister of State, Deputy Brian Hayes – two of the people who tried to get rid of the Taoiseach shortly before the previous general election. This is payback time on the part of the Taoiseach. It is a cynical move on his part.
