I feel we should not adjourn. As far as I am concerned, we are not actually passing legislation. This is Committee Stage and we are examining the legislation. No reason has been advocated as to why we should adjourn at this Stage and why we cannot carry out our work as a committee today. If there is a problem in the future, there are several opportunities for the Oireachtas to intervene.
Unfortunately, for the second day in a row, Deputy Jim O'Callaghan shows complete disrespect for committee members. It is unbelievable that he could have sat at this committee yesterday and forgot to mention to any of us what he was going to do as his party trick today.
