Mattie McGrath (Tipperary, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I am in agreement with Deputy Clare Daly. There was considerable opposition last week, and rightly so. As Deputy Clare Daly said, the Government was assuming that there would be only a few amendments. The deadline had not been arrived at. We do not know how long it is going to take so it is a guessing game. I do not know whether the tail is wagging the dog here again regarding this legislation. It looks like it. I refer to the Independent Alliance. What is happening is wholly inappropriate. I ask that the item be withdrawn also.
