This relates to the important legislation we have brought forward. The Minister spoke during the debate - before any vote was taken - and stated that she and he Government were going to bury this important legislation behind a money message.

There is no provision for this. I ask the Deputy to resume his seat.

There is no argument whatsoever in favour of a money message. I ask the Government, particularly the Minister, not to hide behind a money message and to listen to the Members of the Dáil who voted in support of this important legislation.
