Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

It is not agreed. The reason it is not agreed is that I understand there are approximately 80 amendments. One of these amendments is key to what the Government proposes, the method by which head shops can be closed down. I am informed by Deputy Shatter that the Government is using a very circuitous route indeed. A range of Deputies wish to speak on this Bill. It is not possible to deal with 80 amendments in the time allocated and for that reason, and because of the importance of finding a better way than the Government proposal to deal with this conclusively and swiftly, I object to the Bill being guillotined.
