Fortieth Amendment of the Constitution (Care) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2024-01-23
============================================================

Tom Clonan (IND), University of Dublin

I just want to make a general observation to echo what Senator Higgins said. Notwithstanding the differences of views and notwithstanding the time constraints and the compression of this process. I do appreciate the listening ear. I felt that we at least had the opportunity to raise those concerns here. I appreciate the Minister's bona fides in this regard. I know the debate may have become heated from time to time, but I hope he would not infer from that any personal criticism. I thank the Minister's colleagues as well for spending the time here sitting under the window, which I am sure is not comfortable.
