Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I take the point that we should avoid rushing legislation in the last fortnight. Already, there are a dozen or 14 measures before the House. I would like to see all those passed. We have cleared a Bill today and there are a few more coming through. We could give a fairly accurate assessment of when and how we will deal with this legislation over the next two months. There is no difficulty in that regard.
