I said that Mr O'Toole was an eminently educated man. He has posed the dilemma extremely well. Here is the nub: we have got into the habit in this place of saying, "There's a problem" and then saying about something that does not solve it, "Well, there's the solution. You have to vote for the Bill", even though the Bill would not solve the problem.

65 words. Text as published by the Northern Ireland Assembly.
