I know other Deputies want to come in but to set the record straight, if we were here until 3 a.m., it was because Deputies continued to offer to speak and because the Business Committee decided that there should be no guillotine on the Finance Bill. I recall pointing out to Deputies at 9.50 p.m. that if we continued to deal with the business in the way we were, we had a further seven hours business to do at that stage, so that business was ordered by the Business Committee with Deputy Bríd Smith and Deputy Ó Snodaigh in attendance. I think it was Deputy Ó Snodaigh who raised the question about whether or not there would be guillotines.
