Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

As the other speakers have indicated, the imposition of the guillotine is absolutely unnecessary, unwarranted and anti-democratic in terms of proper address of legislation presenting.

In conclusion, a Cheann Comhairle, I very much record my disappointment at your earlier refusal to give me a due response to the points I made on my objection to the first proposition on the Order Paper. You have not yet and never have previously given any substantive reply to give guidance and support to Members of this House as to how they can hold that Minister and this Government to account on the disgraceful decisions that have been taken on our health services. Shame on them.
