Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I do not want to be unfair but I lead a party of 44 Deputies. We have been very facilitative. We do not have a d'Hondt system. I have raised the point on a number of occasions that ten minutes for 44 Deputies in a debate like this is not adequate. I have done so consistently. There has been an attempt made to accommodate it. I am saying reasonably that I do not want my party disenfranchised to that extent. I have no difficulty with the facilitation of any other debate but this is a reasonable request given the enormity of what happened yesterday and its impact.
