Paul Connaughton Snr (Galway East, Fine Gael)

I object vehemently to the debate on this Bill being curtailed. I cannot imagine that in five hours we will deal with the tremendous problems that have arisen in Galway and other parts of the country. This is an important issue for people's health, particularly for children and the elderly. Many Members on all sides of the House will want to be involved in this debate. We cannot do it justice in five hours.
