Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is absolutely hypocritical of the deputy leader of Sinn Féin to come in here and demand time for Topical Issues when it is proposed to debate an issue that is so important to everybody, namely, the Water Services Bill, given that she came in here a couple of weeks ago, held up this place for five hours and did not allow Topical Issues to be taken at all. We are allowing the House to sit until 8 p.m. tomorrow and 8 p.m. on Friday to give everybody an opportunity to have their say on Second Stage of the Water Services Bill. Members have been demanding this and they will get the time they need. For Deputy McDonald to come in here and say that we should have Topical Issues tomorrow when she sat over there for five hours, held up the work of this House and did not allow Topical Issues to take place at all means that she is either suffering from amnesia or is very selective in the points she makes.
