Elaine Loughlin: Rushed laws amount to bad laws

In her penultimate column of this Dáil session, Deputy Political Editor Elaine Loughlin warns that the mad rush by ministers to cram in as much legislation as possible in as little time as possible is storing up problems for the future

Elaine Loughlin: 'Like school children trying to finish the last pages of their workbooks before the summer holidays, there has been a mad rush from ministers to cram in as much legislation as possible in as little time as possible.'

Rushed laws amount to bad laws.

In ramming through legislation without proper scrutiny or consultation, this Government is not only alienating its own TDs, but is also creating and storing up significant problems for the future.
