Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

One thing was in evidence yesterday with the Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill; it is in evidence again today with this Bill, and it will certainly be in evidence over the next week and the week following. I refer to the Government's guillotine approach in the last couple of weeks leading into the Christmas recess. The Local Government (Dublin Mayor and Regional Authority) Bill is one we do not support. We do not believe it should be provided for in this way and we will be voting against it as we are opposing it now in the Order Paper.
