It is now open to international travel. Many people from this State are travelling through it to travel internationally as we speak.

That is what we have achieved. I hope the Minister will withdraw the guillotine and agree that these powers are extreme and that we need to debate them, even if that means sitting tomorrow, Friday, Saturday or Sunday because I doubt there is a rock concert taking place on those days. There is plenty of time and plenty of space. Let us debate what is involved. Let us get back to democracy. Let us return to normality in some shape or form. I oppose the particular amendment.
