Order of Business (29 Sep 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Having listened to Deputy Kenny, I must state that what is at issue is not time provision. Apart from the fact that a guillotine of 9 p.m. is being applied, which is objectionable in itself and is an action usually the preserve of Government towards the end of a session rather than on the first day back, we are once again being asked by this Government to buy a pig in a poke. I do not need...
