Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Normally there are objections to the Dáil rising but, in this case, we are concerned with something that is really fundamental to our country. Therefore, I do not object to the proposal. Fine Gael is trying to encourage all its members to avail of the adjournment to connect directly with the people with regard to the importance of approving of the Lisbon treaty with a resounding "Yes".
