Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick City, Labour)

I acknowledge Members' difficulties in the Bill being taken on a single day. My colleague, the Minister for public expenditure and reform, Deputy Brendan Howlin, has already done so, as have Senators Ivana Bacik and Tom Sheahan on behalf of the Government side. Moreover, at the risk of breaking confidentiality, Senator Ivana Bacik raised the issue at the meeting of the Labour Party Parliamentary Party earlier today. I acknowledge that the point has been well taken and the Government will learn from it.
