Pearse Doherty (Donegal South West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

It has been normal practice in the Chamber that there is a short brief on each of the resolutions. The pressure of time means we have one hour during the suspension of the sitting to look at the financial resolutions before us. We have been handed a white page, with some points having only seven or eight words, as a brief on some of the financial statements. It is bad form, as the Government knew well in advance that these were the resolutions to be tabled in the House. We have a deadline to the implement resolutions, which Sinn Féin will facilitate, but it is bad form in terms of the briefing provided to Opposition spokespersons.
