Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

We would work with the Taoiseach by agreeing to take out some items on today's agenda with a view to giving more time for the Social Welfare Bill and the property tax Bill on Friday. What is happening this week in the House is an absolute disgrace and flies in the face of any agenda to give the Parliament a greater say on budgetary matters or on legislation. It is absolutely appalling what is going on.
