Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

We might not be disposed at all to table a motion about him but we would like to hear what he has to say and to have the opportunity of putting questions to him. The House should be given that opportunity but an arrangement whereby the Minister comes in at some hour later tonight, makes a statement and then disappears without question or comment from anybody is not an acceptable way of dealing with this matter.
