Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Taoiseach to reflect on this. We have tabled 34 amendments. Government Deputies voted earlier to stop us from debating the 23 amendments we had put forward. The Taoiseach was on these benches for a very long time and knows how frustrating it is when we go to the trouble of scrutinising the Bill, parsing it and tabling thoughtful amendments but are then denied the chance to discuss them.
