When the schedule was presented at the Business Committee, there were serious concerns across the Opposition regarding the time allocated to the Planning and Development Bill. As the Taoiseach knows, there are a massive number of amendments, including amendments from the Minister. This is a very important Bill. I urge him not to guillotine it at midnight on Wednesday but, rather, let it run its course over the next number of weeks to give the necessary time to the Bill. There are serious repercussions. It is one of the largest Bills in the history of the State. There is a huge need to listen, engage, and make changes where necessary. I ask for no guillotine on Wednesday on that issue.
