I wish to set the record straight. I was stuck in this Chamber discussing the Social Welfare and Pensions Bill because the Government Chief Whip scheduled the Whips meeting at a time when the debate was already under way. I also said that I did not object to the time motion in itself. The difficulty is the fact that we are limited in time tomorrow. I call on the Minister of State, Deputy Kehoe to withdraw his remarks. Our deputy Whip, who was the only other person who could have attended, is in hospital today.
