On a point of order, it is absolutely outrageous that on an issue such as this, which is of fundamental importance, only one hour was given to discuss extending a guarantee that will cost this State a fortune; €38 billion more of senior unguaranteed debt being signed off here today. We have been accused in the past of being of asleep at the wheel. A single hour of debate is a disgrace. The Government should be ashamed of itself.
