Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

No, it is not agreed. In respect of the Dáil sitting tomorrow, the Criminal Justice Bill 2007 is welcomed by Fine Gael, but there are many very serious issues at stake. I ask the Tánaiste whether it is appropriate for us to discuss a Bill like this, which deals with bail, the right to silence and detention periods, in ten or 12 hours. Does he think this is a sufficient period of time in which to debate these important issues?
