Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

It is important to be consistent in the House. I made the point to the Chief Whip at the start of this session that Fine Gael would oppose, as a matter of principle, the guillotining of Bills. Therefore, I oppose the guillotining of this Bill. There are occasions where a Bill might run out of steam in any event, but I have made the point to the Chief Whip that we will oppose every proposal to guillotine a Bill. I object to this proposal on that basis.
