Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

I withdraw any inference I made previously that the Taoiseach was speaking nonsense. I regret that statement and withdraw it. I did not agree with him, but it was not nonsense. It is a level of mutual respect.

The argument on this is the same as the previous argument. There is no need for a guillotine on this Bill. There is no urgency on it. It could have been done months ago or can be done months in the future. There is no urgency on it and we oppose the guillotine.
