Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I understand where the Deputy is coming from. I am sorry but I will not allow a debate on it. At this point I have to make a ruling on it. I perfectly understand what the Deputy is saying. It is part of the system that I read out that the Bill will now be read a Second Time and nobody can object to that at this point. In my limited experience and understanding of the system, it is not possible at this point to call a vote. I may be wrong but that is the ruling I am making.
