Tom Kitt (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

In the context of yesterday's discussions and lengthy Leaders' Questions I refused the request for a special statement. In the light of this morning's debate and the Tánaiste's commitment, I agree to meet the Whips and in the spirit of co-operation agree procedures for next week. I give that commitment now and think we should meet as soon as possible, in the next hour or so.
