Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I am not so sure it was promised. The Deputy will be aware that we are concentrating on using Government time for the purpose of getting through legislation, to which the Opposition will want to give sufficient time as well, in the remainder of the term that is available to us. It is open to Deputies to raise matters of sufficient priority in Private Members' time.
