Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

That is the swansong of this Government. It should be titled, "Can't you wait a few hours for the Constitution" It is like saying, "Can't the people who are lying on trolleys wait a few days before they get a bed" and "Can't the people who are out of work wait a few months, or even a few years, before they get back to work". We can wait no longer.
