Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

In this case the question put by the Ceann Comhairle is that the Dáil shall sit later than 9 p.m. which gives all day today and tomorrow to deal with Committee and Remaining Stages of the Social Welfare and Pensions Bill which will go to the Seanad on Friday. Yesterday we debated a motion which will allow the amendments to be taken and for everybody to contribute to them all day today and tomorrow. From this point of view we should get on with it because it is an important Bill. People will have adequate time to make their points in respect of the amendments tabled.
