Order of Business. (10 Feb 2004)

Emmet Stagg: That there is a guillotine on this Bill is unacceptable. The time allowed for the Bill was extended by agreement of the Whips but that time has now been eroded because of today's special debate.

Standing Orders: Motion. (10 Feb 2004)

Emmet Stagg: The Minister of State might have raised an issue at a Whips' meeting to try to cherry-pick something out of a report she had nothing to do with. However, she certainly did not convene the Dáil reform committee since her appointment as its chairperson.

Standing Orders: Motion. (10 Feb 2004)
