Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

If Deputy Stagg, as a whip, wants to show disregard to the legislative process, that is a matter for him. Those are the pieces of legislation pertinent to the budget. Other pieces of legislation, which are important, will be considered by both Houses while these pieces of legislation are going through the normal process. That legislation has been outlined by the Chief Whip. It will depend on how long it takes the other pieces of legislation to be considered.
