Order of Business (8 Jul 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I also oppose the guillotine on No. 4, first on the basis that I do not believe that guillotines are required but the main reason is that this issue, namely, the Twenty-Eighth Amendment of the Constitution (Treaty of Lisbon) Bill, is an affront to the people's vote last year and it should not even have reached this stage. I call for the Government to withdraw it.

This is a bizarre wording.
