Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I thank Senator Brian Hayes, the Leader of the Opposition, for his kind words. I also thank the Deputy Leader, Senator Dardis, with whom I worked closely on this matter. It was good for this House that the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform was here for a considerable period on Wednesday evening to expand on his ideas.

Am I correct in thinking that Senator Brian Hayes asked that we would not have a peremptory ending for Second Stage or that a guillotine would not be applied?
