Gerry Horkan: I have given Senator Ruane latitude. I would never try to cut her short. She has had six minutes in the debate already between herself and the Minister.

I am sorry that she is missing Pink Floyd but if that is the case, that is the case.

Gerry Horkan: I am just advising people on the record of the House that this is what was agreed by both parties, and my party has stuck to it.
