Rónán Mullen (Independent) | Oireachtas source

Everything here is being subjected to the exigencies of a referendum, which is why this is being rushed through like an express train or, as somebody said to me the other day, more like a dose of salts. If we had any respect for the electorate and the Oireachtas we would not allow something so cursory on something so fundamental.

I mentioned Dr. Joanna Rose. She is regularly told she should be grateful to be here at all and therefore she has no right to express any sense of loss arising out of what happened to her.
