Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I also wish to object to the application of the guillotine once again in respect of a number of items, including the last one. It is uncalled for and is unnecessary. As a preference, the Government should allow the opportunity for full participation by Members and the guillotine is wrong in principle unless there are specific reasons for it. I acknowledge that such reasons have presented themselves in the past, but in the normal course, it should not be the Government's first option.
