Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2020-10-16
============================================================

Gerard P. Craughwell (IND), Labour Panel

I thank the Minister for his patience today as we ran the Bill through the House, or perhaps I should say as we rammed the Bill through the House.
In fairness to the Minister, he has listened and agreed to bring forward amendments to the Dáil. He has also extended the period for tabling amendments for the Dáil. I thank him for that, but this House has not crowned itself with glory today. Once again, we have given two fingers to democracy and rammed a Bill through all Stages in the House.
