It is a disgrace that his contribution will be missing from the debate because I have not been allowed to share time with him. To move on and be positive, I congratulate the Minister, Deputy Alan Shatter, on the Bill, in particular his clear...

Otherwise, I will make a...

David Norris: Yes. Can we have a debate on political standards and fairness? Can we also have a debate on the way in which the treaty is being handled. The Referendum Commission was not established within the proper timeframe and now its members seem to be acting as Supreme Court judges. They are not just giving information on the treaty, but are telling us what the Supreme Court would say if certain...
