Finance Bill 2025: Committee Stage (Resumed)

Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein)
I echo everything the Cathaoirleach said. I thank the officials and everybody for the swift movement on this.
I have one request for the Minister. When we deal with this on Report Stage, I ask that he use his influence to try to facilitate an adequate amount of time to deal with any amendments. The Minister has taken many Finance Bills through so will know there has not been a guillotine in some cases but it has become more customary that we do not get to amendments on Report Stage. I do not think that is ever good practice. We are coming at this in good faith, even though we are coming from different points, in some cases. I ask the Minister to use his influence to try to do that in terms of the Dáil schedule. When is it intended to come before the Dáil?
