Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I too object to taking this Bill in a rushed fashion this evening. It has far-reaching implications for people depending on welfare payments and it is completely unacceptable that it should be rushed through late in the evening. There is no reason not to make time to deal adequately with this business tomorrow. It is all right for some people in this House who will retire on three pensions from the public sector but unfortunately the people outside the House applying for social welfare do not have such luxury and we should have an opportunity to debate the matter fully.
