Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I oppose the guillotine imposed on the debate. This totally flies against the Taoiseach's assertion that he seeks a more open, inclusive and transparent Dáil. Half an hour is allocated for more than 20 amendments of which our party has put forward a substantial number. Our Deputies have done their work diligently but the debate will not get beyond the second or third amendment.
