This is "Textgate". The Leader should not have the texts under the Data Protection Act 2018 and the general data protection regulation.

I can stand here all day while this discussion takes place. I am quite happy to do so, but I will have my say. The Leader is a decent and honourable man and I do not believe that, on his own initiative, he would go against the wishes of the Taoiseach in the use of the guillotine. He is a democrat and I do not believe he would go against democratic principles on his own initiative. That makes me wonder what is going on. I have kept dogs for 40 years and have yet to see a case in which the tail wags the dog, but I think I have arrived at that situation today. Will the Leader do the honourable thing and ensure the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017 continues on the pathway it is on? I know that it is frustrating, but if Fine Gael really felt bad about it, its members would be here defending it. However, I have not met one of them who has anything good to say about it. At the end of the day, we all know that it is a bit of a farce.

It is. The Senator is right. I refer to the carry-on here.

We really need to put an end to it. I, therefore, call on the Leader to have the courage of his convictions.

We have to put an end to it.

Fine Gael is the biggest party in the coalition. Its members should stand up for themselves and say they will not go through with it anymore. They do not believe in the Bill and should scrap it. The Minister tells me that he has approximately 100 Bills waiting to be brought before the House. Let us start to get the real work done and stop trying to appease people.

Let us start to get the real work done and address the issues of housing and health.

Let us get rid of this nonsense. Sinn Féin's Members are shouting behind me. Perhaps that party might do the democratic thing for once today and stand up for the rest of us.
