-----would probably have difficulty getting elected to this House anyway, whatever about the other one. There comes a time when the use of a guillotine or limiting debate is merited, and that is when debate has gone on for four, five or six days and people are just repeating themselves or deliberately using filibustering tactics to prevent the majority from having its view. However, as the Government does not have a majority in either the Dáil or the Seanad, we cannot decide to use a guillotine. We will be able to curtail debate only if the majority of the House wants that to be done.
