The Presbyterian Church, for which I have a great respect, has its highest concentration, to a massive extent, in the North of Ireland, where, shamefully, they have managed to frustrate same-sex marriage. Therefore, it does not come as any surprise that it would take this sort of attitude. On the business of this being a filibuster, Senator Mullen's references to time, how Members need not do it today and so on make it perfectly clear that that is what it is. That is all I have to say. I hope Members get on with it, get the Bill passed and get it done and dusted. The people of Ireland have spoken and, out of respect, Members should listen to the voice of the people.
