Brendan Howlin: In case the Ceann Comhairle was not alert to this, the Bill surely requires a money message. Just in case this matter might be at the Ceann Comhairle's sole discretion, ar eagla na heagla, the Minister of State decided to point that out to him.

Brendan Howlin: If the Government does not want the political odium of opposing it outright, it is not an appropriate way of dealing with it, to send this Bill, as seems to be the intention, into the new limbo we have created in this Dáil. We have created a state of non-existence for Bills that require a money message. This is new politics. My colleague, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan talked about 140 Bills...

They understood fully and embraced and accepted the...
