I understand there are time constraints but I must put a couple of matters on the record after listening to what was said here today.

It is particularly audacious for my colleague, Senator David Cullinane, to lay the blame for the referendum result at the door of the Taoiseach. I remind the Senator that his party collaborated in the Taoiseach's solo run and was only too willing to act like Shane O'Donnell, receiving the hand pass at the end of the solo run to put the ball in the back of the net. That has to be said.
