Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

Opposition spokespersons are entitled to be informed and to be given time to digest this type of information before a Bill, which has been around the House since 2006, gets moved into almost a crisis-driven situation. Given the Bill's complexities, the Tánaiste should consider two matters. Can the Report Stage of the Bill be postponed by a week so that Opposition spokespersons can consider the Government amendments and submit their own? Can more time be given to Report Stage so that the complexities of the Bill can be discussed at length?
