Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Thank you, a Cheann Comhairle, for getting silence in the House. Many hard-pressed families, to provide Christmas for their children, will be driven into the arms of the moneylenders. It is unacceptable. The guillotine has to be opposed. I urge that the guillotine be lifted and that the opportunity for full participation be provided to the Members of the House. Believe me, it is no smiling matter.
