Seán Ó Fearghaíl (Kildare South, Ceann Comhairle) | Oireachtas source

The decision made did not provide for the amendment the Deputy has tabled today. Had that amendment been made in the Seanad it would not be impossible for us today to make a similar amendment. In other words, if the amendment was made by the Seanad before the break we could make a similar amendment today, were the Members amenable, but it was not, so therefore we cannot.
