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

It is farcical that the content of the motion is not before the Members of the House before the debate starts. The entire lead-up to the debate was farcical in the sense that there was no presentation of any details to other Members of the House which would inform their contributions to the debate, other than what has been leaked to the media. To say we do not have the motion before us, as the Minister rises, is farcical and we should not proceed until we get the motion. We should adjourn for ten minutes.
