-----as, I appreciate, is the Tánaiste herself and, indeed, as is Fianna Fáil. There is an understandable difficulty for Deputies who may wish to amend or have a fuller debate on the legislation. It is only fair to record that it is not by any means ideal or desirable that such important legislation is dealt with at the eleventh hour. That said, my party's concern to have the legislation passed overrides any concerns around a guillotine or the shortening of the debate. I merely want to indicate that position. When I resume my seat, the Leas-Cheann Comhairle might tell us what this means or when a vote might be taken in relation to amending the Order of Business, or if that is the intention.
