The Minister has moved that the Bill be read a Second Time, Deputy Bríd Smith objected to that and I took a few minutes to reflect on and check it. The Deputy raised an interesting point but there is no provision for her objection. There were two votes last night. I was in the Chair when we took the votes on the motion on sitting arrangements. That was when the business was set out and that decided how we would take it today. I am afraid that is all I can do.
