The quote is authentic. The Irish Times article at the provided URL (published January 7, 2026) includes that exact sentence verbatim and immediately attributes it to “Mr Byrne said,” referring to Fianna Fáil TD Malcolm Byrne named just above. A separate Irish Times article on the same bill also quotes Byrne on the subject, reinforcing the attribution.
