Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

This is our national Parliament. I appreciate what the Ceann Comhairle has done and I want to make a constructive contribution on what I just heard. We were notified of this matter eight minutes ago. For future reference, when decisions of this moment are being announced, a short telephone call to the Opposition leaders should be made to allow for some time, particularly when we want everybody engaged in this referendum, which is crucial to the nation.
