Summary

McGrath raised the Children First Bill and criticised the lack of debate on a serious Supreme Court judgment. The Taoiseach said the Bill was awaiting Committee Stage and maintained that a prior debate had taken place.

Ceann amháin eile, the Children First Bill - tá an Taoiseach ag gáire. The Supreme Court made a very serious judgment.

Perhaps the Deputy was absent for the Second Stage debate.

Comment on this

I was not absent, but we ignored the Supreme Court decision in the misappropriation of funds.

The Deputy can get his office to check; there was a debate here.

Not on that, not at all.
