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

If the Taoiseach removes the guillotine, I think he will find that all sides of the House will be co-operative. I do not think the imposition of a guillotine will be necessary. As a principle, it causes offence on this side of the House. A more sensible way to approach the matter would be to allow the Bill to take its normal course. I think the Taoiseach will find that all sides of the House will co-operate in that regard within the time slot that has been proposed. Therefore, I propose that all words after "today" in proposal No. 4 on the Order of Business be deleted.
