Who is this FF person-Missed his name?
by wendylimerick at 1/21/2010 1:30:27 PM
Fitzpatrick: law will focus on rights and responsibilities of same-sex relationships, financial protections, saftey net. Law is a response to growth of cohabiting couples. De facto marriage doesn't offer protection - what does that mean? Material
by LiquidPaddy at 1/21/2010 1:31:24 PM
I missed it, too - I'm afraid I'm at a loss! (Also, is this liveblog drawing in tweets with the #cpbill hashtag?)
by clicky_here at 1/21/2010 1:31:26 PM
Aha, he's Fitzpatrick - thanks, Paddy!

Fitzpatrick is having trouble reading 'his speech'
by wendylimerick at 1/21/2010 1:32:33 PM
Thanks, Wendy. Maybe there's a delay.
by clicky_here at 1/21/2010 1:32:33 PM

by clicky_here at 1/21/2010 1:33:08 PM

twas an effort for him to read that -No mention of the children
by wendylimerick at 1/21/2010 1:35:16 PM
Chris Andrews to talk
by wendylimerick at 1/21/2010 1:35:25 PM
Don't be silly, LPaddy. Also, next time, perhaps Fitzpatrick should pre-record his speech.
by clicky_here at 1/21/2010 1:35:34 PM
Andrews- He is proud of being a member of ff -for this legislation
by wendylimerick at 1/21/2010 1:35:59 PM
Andrews has met both ICCL and GLEN

Andrews now reading a speech on how irish soeicty has changed blah
by wendylimerick at 1/21/2010 1:39:00 PM
Andrews: also concerned and active on social issues. The family unit has changed - no 'one size fits all', (except if you're hetero when you can marry!)
by LiquidPaddy at 1/21/2010 1:39:14 PM
"Traditional family"? "Cohabitate"? What are these non-existent phrases? #cpbill
by clicky_here via twitter at 1/21/2010 1:39:18 PM
Sorry: where did that research/stats come from?
by LiquidPaddy at 1/21/2010 1:39:48 PM
@LiquidPaddy cso figures id say
by wendylimerick at 1/21/2010 1:40:10 PM

Thanks for that Wendy
by LiquidPaddy at 1/21/2010 1:40:38 PM
Hey, mate: I object. I object to apartheid. Don't you? #cpbill
by SineadMcEneaney via twitter at 1/21/2010 1:41:12 PM
Andrews-Greater reference to children
by wendylimerick at 1/21/2010 1:43:06 PM
"Churlish"? CHURLISH? To demand marriage equality?! (A separate issue from civil partnership, by the way.) Yeah, FF are super. #cpbill
by clicky_here via twitter at 1/21/2010 1:43:11 PM
Being a bit cynical, I do feel I should have my shots done, like my cats before I get registered LOL!. Mention of children... but what constitutional problems is he alluding too?
by LiquidPaddy at 1/21/2010 1:43:38 PM
Andrews is really waffling crap about children #cpbill
by ianmcgahon via twitter at 1/21/2010 1:43:48 PM
Andrews 'As night follows day legislation will come to give children of lgbt parents rights ' --
by wendylimerick at 1/21/2010 1:43:59 PM
@chiarraigrrl Oh yeah. This is high quality stuff. #cpbill
by SineadMcEneaney via twitter at 1/21/2010 1:44:17 PM
think this has all been said before.
by niamhvus at 1/21/2010 1:44:27 PM
Future legislation on children? Sugar coating? he's actually met gay people?
by LiquidPaddy at 1/21/2010 1:44:33 PM
Oh here we go he knows a GAY
by wendylimerick at 1/21/2010 1:44:55 PM
Andrews really is turning up the white noise to fill up his time.. he can't fill up the time enough #cpbill
by lexia via twitter at 1/21/2010 1:45:08 PM
Dunno why he keeps talking about 'very-loving same-sex relationships': lots of straight people who don't love each other are married #cpbill
