10:30 am
Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
There has been an exhaustive debate on these amendments. I never seek to stymie debate. However, in many instances when Senators table amendments and put forward views in respect of them, the relevant Minister is very well briefed and can respond. It does not behove Members to start disagreeing with each other across the floor. The Minister will respond to the points raised and it might be more appropriate to have her do so rather than having Senators offering tit-for-tat arguments. The Minister and her officials are very well briefed. I have been monitoring proceedings for the past hour or so and I am of the view that the Minister has provided extensive responses to Senators' points.
