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

Deputy McDonald said this is an extraordinary situation. It is not an extraordinary situation. There will be a full day's business tomorrow which was agreed by the Business Committee involving a Private Members' Bill, the Labour Party Bill on sick leave and parental leave, which is a very important Bill and on which Government will engage constructively. There is Leaders' Questions. I am in here every week on Leaders' Questions taking questions from parties on all sides of the House. We have Question Time to the Taoiseach after that. We have Topical Issues. We have statements on transport. We have a Defence (Amendment) Bill, the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing) (Amendment) Bill, a voting block and the House finishes tomorrow at 10.15 p.m. I am unsure of what the Members are against but that is what they are now voting against.
