Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

If, however, Deputies want to have it debated today, tomorrow and Friday, we will go on to Committee Stage next week and Report and Final Stages the following week, and it will be in the Seanad right up to the Christmas recess. I have repeatedly explained to the House that this is an urgent Bill and, so that it would not be complex, we took out the entire section on the information and quality issues. We undertook to take those in a separate Bill in the spring session. How many concessions on a Bill do I have to make?
