Dessie Ellis (Dublin North West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

On a point of order, the Chief Whip indicated what he is planning to do but there was a commitment given to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport and Communications that this would be brought back to the committee, discussed there and the Government members of the committee agreed to this. The Chief Whip has not mentioned this. We are going to have statements, and possibly a vote. The Government is rushing this through without it being looked at, without documentation being studied and properly evaluated.
