Eamon Gilmore: I join Deputy Kenny in objecting to the arrangements the Government proposes for this debate. There should be an opportunity for questions to the Minister and answers from him on this issue before the debate is concluded. This debate should not conclude today. At the very least it should continue tomorrow. An opportunity should be given to every Member of this House who wants to...

Order of Business (12 Feb 2009)

Eamon Gilmore: It is a huge sum of money and should not be subject to a short, Thursday debate, limited in time and procedure.

To be fair, the Taoiseach has not committed himself to that timetable but that is the working...
