Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The debate on the Bill is being guillotined. The discussion on the issue that has been led for Sinn Féin by Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh shows that when there is co-operation, the House can work very well. Many of the details are highly technical. They are also very important for pensioners. Accordingly, more time is needed to discuss the Bill.

Will the Taoiseach allow for more time for these technical issues to be discussed and for the Opposition to work in co-operation with the Government to ensure pensioners' interests are protected?
