I suppose there is always a temptation to have soundbites on the Order of Business. However, the appropriate time to discuss social welfare matters is on Second Stage of the debate on the Social Welfare Bill. To be fair to Senator Brian Hayes, while he expressed his strong opposition to the Bill, he waited and will, I am sure, be able to make his remarks in the debate. I assume that those who denounce the Bill will be equally strong when it comes to the debate on the matter.
