Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

It is not agreed. It a hugely important Bill to establish the Policing Authority. I have read in the newspapers that the Cabinet was to consider dispensing with the five-day cooling off period to facilitate its speedy signature by the President. All of this, including the use of the guillotine tonight, is about getting the Bill through before the Dáil rises and Sinn Féin is opposed to it.
