Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Deputy Gogarty should not worry. The only old banger in here is the one he has been driving in the Green Party for years. It is just about clapped out.

With regard to the Tánaiste's reply to the previous questioner, will the Finance Bill be before the Dáil on 12 January? Is that when we will address it? What is reason the Government intends running it forward to the beginning of the first week back? How quickly afterwards do the members of the Government intend to hand in their resignations in the park? What is the programme of legislation which the Government expects?

I notice that this morning a lobby has started again in regard to the climate change Bill, which I am happy to support. Is it the case that the Government is in disarray and the Green Party wants to see other legislation being forced through?
