Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-05-25
============================================================

Lorraine Clifford-Lee (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

If we are talking about human rights and oppressive regimes, that is what is in place in this country. It is completely inappropriate for Members of this House and the Lower House to constantly use emotive language when we are discussing these health regulations. Members put down amendments in good faith. I do not question the good faith of anybody in this House but to use inappropriate and insulting language like that is completely inappropriate. I ask Senator Mullen to retract his comments from earlier today.
