10:30 am

As the Minister of State gets his thoughts together I shall make a point about costs and money. This is a human rights issue so costs should be irrelevant. One cannot put a cost on human rights, accessibility to society and accessibility to State services. With due deference to the Acting Chairman, who is representing the Cathaoirleach, this matter should not be reduced to pounds, shillings and pence.
