Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

The Taoiseach will not get the application either.

We also object to the proposition that a guillotine apply to the passage of the Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2009. As has been already indicated by Deputy O'Sullivan, the legislation contains a new element which warrants independent address. The idea of a guillotine applying to this legislation is unacceptable, as is the series of guillotines which have been applied to legislation as a matter of course in recent weeks. We ask the Taoiseach to lift the guillotine to allow the House to debate properly all of the content of the Bill now presenting.
