Unlike the recent Fianna Fáil speakers, I agree with Deputy O'Callaghan that the only sensible way forward procedurally is to proceed as the Ceann Comhairle has outlined. The Deputy's colleagues may not agree with him but I think that is the sensible approach. What happened last night was unfortunate. It was a combination of the sequencing of the amendments and then an amendment being tabled when perhaps it should not have been. Frankly, what has happened is not that unusual, albeit it is happening in the context of a more high-profile Bill that has been the source of particular discussion
It frequently happens and any Deputy-----
