Ciarán Cuffe (Dún Laoghaire, Green Party)

I read it several times.

I am glad to see the Green Party's commitment to an increase in Dáil sitting times come through the House today. The Dáil will sit for an extra week in July to discuss the results of the Lisbon referendum and the prevailing economic situation. That is movement in the right direction. If we were to propose sitting for several more weeks into July, there would be discomfort on the Opposition benches.
