Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There is no difficulty about this. As Deputies Adams and Martin have raised, it is an important matter. It is important that people who wish to speak on it should be given time. The Chief Whip has informed me that he has another list of Members who wish to speak - I did not have a contribution to speak on it myself - so the explanation is that there are more speakers who wish to contribute to this important issue. The intention then is to adjourn today at 4 p.m. and bring it back in next week in order that everyone who wishes to speak will have the opportunity to so do. It is an important issue and I accept the claims from Deputies opposite on many occasions that more time should be given. That is what this is about and more time will be given.
