Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

On a point of order, the conclusion of the debate on this legislation is fast approaching. An amendment which I wanted to have the opportunity to debate and divide the House on will not be reached. I will, therefore, have no option but to oppose the Bill, which I do not wish to do. This highlights the crass nature of the guillotines that are applied in the House. In such circumstances, I wish to call a quorum.
