I understand this is unusual. Deputies who have been here far longer than I say they have never seen this before. However, the Leas-Cheann Comhairle said we agreed that the Bill be read a Second Time and I did not agree. I object to it being read a Second Time and to the way in which the Bill is being pushed through. When I do not agree with something and I want to find out how other Deputies feel, I believe I have a right to put it to a vote. If I do not and if procedures and Standing Orders say I do not, then I will have to accept that from the Leas-Cheann Comhairle but I believe I do.
