Pearse Doherty (Donegal South West, Sinn Fein)

Some Ministers may be included among those who could avail of it. There is trend with the Government to impose a guillotine. We in Sinn Féin are opposed to the guillotine. We should allow people to speak on Second Stage if they so desire. I ask the Tánaiste to give a commitment to the House that there will not be a guillotine on Committee Stage or Report Stage as his party and other parties demanded when we dealt with Finance Bills previously. We should be able to discuss and debate each amendment in full and vote upon it at the end.
