Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

This proposal is not agreed to. The behaviour of the Government, in the context of the way it wants to do its business, is the most arrogant of any Administration I have ever seen. The Order of Business is absolutely contemptuous. It is proposed that we take statements on the carbon budget for 65 minutes and then guillotine the debate on the Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill at 6.30 p.m. Only 16 Members of my party have had the opportunity to speak on the latter, and then for only five minutes each.
