Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2020-09-25
============================================================

Gerard P. Craughwell (IND), Labour Panel

I do not want to delay the House, but I must address the allegation of crying crocodile tears or wanting to prevent legislation from passing through all Stages in the House. I am shocked that the former Leader of this House, a stickler for procedure whom I have always admired as a parliamentarian, would refer to Senators' wish for legislation to go through all Stages in a proper and considered way as crocodile tears.
