Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

The proposition before us this morning is another effort to undermine the relevance of this House. That is what is involved in the formula mooted by the Government to deal with the Merchant Shipping Bill 2009. The other points raised by other speakers are all equally valid for opposing the adoption of the Order Paper this morning, because the Government is failing time and again the protect the relevance of Parliament.

The report on the Dublin Docklands Development Authority has been denied to Members of the House, yet it is now in open currency-----
