Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I also object to the proposal to guillotine the debate on Committee, Report and Final Stages of the Finance (No. 2) Bill. The import of what is involved requires greater scrutiny and opportunities for Deputies to participate but the proposal simply will not accommodate the range of opinion represented in the House. The Minister for Finance, in his contribution yesterday, clearly indicated that he had capitulated to the position adopted by other parties prior to the general election. This matter needs to be properly addressed. The proposal will not resolve the issue for those who need to secure a home for their own purposes.
