Joe Conway (Independent)

I have high admiration for him. He is an extraordinary Minister and an extraordinary public representative, but I fundamentally think, "Guys, gals, the man may be great, but on this occasion he is damned wrong." I am not encouraged by the tendency of the divisions on this Bill that they are going through on the nod. The Government side and the Minister have an onerous responsibility to step back from this and not to press it ahead because we are doing ourselves a desperate disfavour.
