Paul Gavan (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

This issue has had a lot of back and forth both in the Dáil and here, as the Minister of State will be aware. I am very disappointed he has not taken on board any of the four amendments in the grouping. Sinn Féin will also support Senator Higgins's amendments. We are disappointed, given the importance of the Bill, all the work that has been done on it and the constructive manner in which much of it has been handled, that there is this gaping hole in the legislation that will be exploited. It is a mistake and I will press our amendment.
