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

When the Government published its reforms, it did not consult anybody that night. It is now stating we only have 50 minutes to discuss the issue of reform of the Dáil. That shows how untrue all the rhetoric was during the campaign, when people were saying they were really committed to reform. The bottom line is that there will be 50 minutes for debate, after which it will be guillotined. There will only be one vote. Look at the list of amendments we are being asked to pass today.
