On a point of order, no one in this House has seen the emergency legislation to which the Leader refers. That is no way to do business either here or in the Dáil. With respect, I must inform the Leader that something similar happened in 2008 when legislation was rushed through. We all know the consequences to which that gave rise. It is not good enough for the Leader to announce that we are going to deal with legislation in the early hours of the morning without giving Opposition spokespersons a proper opportunity to scrutinise that legislation. The Government is rushing through legislation, which is exactly what Fianna Fáil did in 2008.
