Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

On a point of information, the decision to provide two hours for the debate on the Protection of Employment (Exceptional Collective Redundancies and Related Matters) Bill 2007, which is due to be taken at 3.30 p.m, after the Criminal Justice Bill 2007, is generous. As the Fine Gael spokesman on enterprise, I would be prepared to delay the starting time of the debate on the Protection of Employment (Exceptional Collective Redundancies and Related Matters) Bill 2007 from 3.30 p.m. to 4 p.m., to facilitate the spending of the necessary additional time on the Criminal Justice Bill 2007.
