Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I could equally seek a commitment that there be no filibustering but then I would be told I was being pejorative. We have allocated seven and a half hours on Report and Final Stages. It is a fair amount of time. There was a lengthy debate on the Bill when it was before the House during which many amendments were made. Arising from the debate in the Dáil there have been a considerable number of amendments. We hope that the proposed arrangements will allow for the passage of the Bill in reasonably good time. An allocation of seven and a half hours is significant but if Senators want to sit on Friday afternoon it would be a matter of seeing if the Minister is free.
