Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I am very sorry. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform has a responsibility to come before the House. The Government should have ordered the paper for next week's sittings, for whatever days, to include the commencement of the substantive debate that must address all the issues arising from the Supreme Court decision. That will not occur in the limited time tomorrow. To all intents and purposes, this is emergency legislation. The important debate must not be put on the long finger. It must start straight away. It should be on the business for next week's schedule.
