Paul Bradford (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Be it a point of order or an observation, I want to put on the record of the House that it is historically unprecedented, not just in this House but perhaps in the entire Oireachtas, that we apparently are set to vote onto a committee a person who does not wish to be a part of that committee. I ask that in a moment of reflection and calmness, we do what is the only right thing to do and withdraw the motion and reflect and make a decision on Monday. If this House has any respect not just for its traditions but for its possible future, it must reflect and withdraw this motion and consider it on Monday.
