Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

I would be happy to accommodate Deputy Behan or any other independent Member who does not get speaking time. When the Government guillotines a Bill, however, it is difficult. Only three members of the Labour Party got in on the Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill, and that was done by sharing time. There was no time to give to people, that is the difficulty we have.
