Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

——to the allocation of time. That was the sole focus of my disagreement with the provision to address this motion.

I welcome the Minister of State's introduction to this morning's discussion and the detail presented in regard to the effects of all the new amendments now presented. Recalling the Taoiseach's declaration of embarrassment yesterday, I will not add to the Minister of State's embarrassment at all the kudos heaped on him but instead I hope he will accept, in good faith, my point that earlier access to this would have been of great assistance to Members who wish to prepare properly for such a serious and important engagement.
