Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am listening to the Senator's comments very carefully and I have listened to the Minister. I must be a referee and impartial as Cathaoirleach. The Minister disagrees with the Senator and the Senator does not agree with the Minister. I am not allowing this to drag on. We are nearly one hour and 15 minutes on the matter. The Senator's speech is more like a Second Stage speech. He has made his points cogently and as far as I understand, the Minister is unlikely to accept his opinion. There will be a vote on it and it is the way to resolve the matter.
