Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

On a point of information, this is probably the most important debate that has taken place in the Oireachtas for a very long period. When it comes to putting amendment No. 4 before the House, will I have an opportunity to reply to the Minister at that point? I understand that amendment No. 2 is being taken first. We would not have agreed to the grouping if we understood it would diminish the right of the Labour Party to put amendments before the House.
