Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

No. It is important that we have more time to address this critical budgetary issue. I ask not only for an extension of time to 12 midnight, if necessary, but also to extend the various segments for the Opposition party spokespersons to contribute substantially to this. It is important, in particular, that the Opposition parties would have an opportunity to reply to the Sinn Féin budget submission published yesterday, and particularly to our wealth tax, our cap on public service pay and many other important matters. I am concerned that there is not enough time provision here to deal adequately with that.
