Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I listened carefully to Senator McDowell. Of course, my ultimate point is that the amendment goes too far. The Senator goes too far in his opposition to the holding of any form of interview.

I find Senator Craughwell amusing. A checking of the record will show that he, more than anybody else, has spoken about his interview prowess, albeit in dealing with education or Army matters, or both. Until this amendment, he seemed to be pro-interview.
