Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The credit union movement is one of the great national social movements on the island and many people and families depend on it. The Government is introducing banking regulations which are not appropriate to deal with a voluntary organisation such as the credit union movement and under which many smaller credit unions will not be able to function. Therefore, every Teachta Dála must have the opportunity to speak on this issue, if he or so wishes. The use of the guillotine will not allow them to do this.
