Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Second Stage Dail Éireann — 2021-06-30 ============================================================ Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary This is like playing Russian roulette. The last 15 months have been a torrid and horrible time. I listened to Deputy Howlin and other speakers. I bow to Deputy Howlin and his vast experience of doing legislation in this House. This is ham-fisted and a shambles. The Minister has been foisted on the Department of Justice as well as having her existing portfolio. Whether she sought it, I do not know. We wish the Minister, Deputy McEntee, and her family the best. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas. Licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
