Gerard Craughwell (Independent) | Oireachtas source

He is the only member of Fine Gael who has told me that he or she is 100% behind this Bill. That speaks volumes. I admire the Minister's strength and courage in constantly coming here. After the life of this Government, the next Government may have a very different view on this issue. While it is somewhat unusual to have a second look at a Bill, it is only right and proper to do so. The composition of the next Government may be very different. A Senator was once a Minister in a Fine Gael Government led by Garrett FitzGerald. I may be the next Minister for Defence sitting next to the Minister and supporting him.
