Mary White (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

One of the powers of the Seanad, in opposing a Bill, is to delay the passing of that Bill by at least 90 days. This Bill deserves more consideration by the Oireachtas, and the three Senators in question can ensure that extra time is available by voting against it on Report Stage. In continuing to support this Bill, they are denying this House one of its most important constitutional powers of delaying rushed legislation. I would appeal to each of them, even at this stage, to reconsider their position and oppose Report Stage of this Bill.
