Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein)

I do not know why we just did not extend the time. This is the budgetary oversight. It is unbelievable that this meeting was curtailed in the way it was and that we could not even get into the information. This is the first time ever that a surplus has not been provided. It is the first time ever that the amount of money that is being provided in the budget in terms of new measures has not been provided. It is always provided. This is supposed to be the committee that was set up as a result of the financial crash to examine things. We have got less information than before, and we are now in a situation where members were curtailed to 90 seconds to ask questions and 90 seconds to get an answer. That is not oversight.
