Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

-----and give two fingers to the people, the Parliament and the questions that need to be answered. The Government would lose nothing by having a normal day's business next week with Leaders' Questions, Questions to the Taoiseach, Adjournment debates, Private Members' motions and being able to vote on issues. I ask the Government not to treat next Wednesday and Thursday as some kind of Friday sitting during which anodyne statements are made. This is a serious time in our country's development.
