The Minister of State, Deputy White, asked us to be less selective with our quotations and instead gather the evidence, weigh it and measure it, look at in the round and make a decision on it. Senator Ó Domhnaill has failed on all of these criteria. I contend that not alone will he not agree with me but he will not even understand me.

Senator Walsh also vigorously opposes section 9. He is entitled to do so but his decision is not based on evidence. It is one based, obviously and as he admitted himself, on ideology. He compares what the Government is trying to do with what the Nazis did during the Second World War.
