Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

It is now very obvious that the Government is desperately trying to avoid a situation where we will have a straight vote on extending the eviction ban, or not, as proposed by the Sinn Féin Bill. Nothing reflects more the absolute determination, or even desperation, of the Government to go this course more than that. The Taoiseach referred to a reasoned amendment. Has that been accepted by the Office of the Ceann Comhairle? What is it? I do not believe we have seen it.
