Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

As with the other Deputies, I strongly oppose the proposition to guillotine the final passage of this Bill. As Deputy Gilmore has indicated, only 11 of 45 amendments have been addressed at this point. Clearly, these matters are of great importance, so the opportunity should be afforded to all Members to engage properly on the amendments they have tabled. I ask the Tánaiste to extend the time so as to allow the process to conclude naturally.
