Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I thank the Cathaoirleach for reminding me. In that context, where I come from we were always capable of seeing the bigger picture and having regard for the greater good, as well as encouraging and nurturing those who have been neglected for long periods. Dublin supporters should enjoy the Sam Maguire while they have it on loan. It is another one of those temporary little arrangements.

Mention has been made of the guillotine which nobody welcomes on either side of the House. When in opposition, we always opposed it just as the current Opposition is doing now. They know as well as us, however, that Governments get caught in emergencies and timeframes, which is what has happened in this case. I plead with the Opposition to bear with us because we do not welcome the guillotine either, as has been said.
