Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

It is not agreed. A range of other Opposition speakers have yet to speak on the Finance Bill and they will not be given the opportunity. I will quote a phrase for the Minister:

I think for a long time there has been an imbalance between the Executive and the Parliament. I think the Government will strengthen the hand of Parliament to hold the Government to account. I think that would be in everybody's interest.

They are the words of the Minister.
