Seán Ó Fearghaíl (Kildare South, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I put it to the Taoiseach earlier that he committed himself and his Government to political reform. We are now seeing the political reform, which is a budget that was decided upon by four members of the Cabinet. The outcome of that budget is being decided in this House on foot of guillotines which do not even allow Government backbenchers an opportunity to contribute. I respect the Taoiseach but I do not respect the manner in which he has broken his promises to the people on this matter of political reform. He is using an unprecedented majority to jackboot through this type of legislation.
