Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

-----and the outcome of the vote does not change that.
I do not happen to agree with Deputy Murphy too often but in his brief appearance earlier he put the question that there is more to democracy than majority rule and he is, of course, correct. A vital element of all of that is respect for rules, adherence to rules and adherence to them even when you might not agree.
