I move: "That Second Stage be taken now."

Not agreed. I do not believe the Bill should be in front of the House. It is a disgrace.

It was agreed earlier on the Order of Business.

No vote was taken and no proposal or question was put to the House.
Joe O'Reilly (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

The question was agreed.

No. The Acting Chairman just asked the Minister to move it and asked the House to agree and I am saying I do not agree.
Joe O'Reilly (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I must put the question then.

It is a disgraceful attempt to intimidate public sector workers and bully them into accepting the Minister's pay cuts.
