This is more piggery pokery going on. We are not allowing the people to see the pig. I repeat my slogan: let the people see the pig. The Minister of State is most disingenuous. First, he is in this fantasy land where he says the Government will reform the Dáil in some massive way. No one believes that. Not a single person believes that, not even in the Minister of State's party. He should ask Deputy Charles Flanagan who is a senior official in his party. No one believes the Minister of State. We have had all these promises and so on. Did one Minister not say that one gives commitments all over the place, that was then, now is now, that is the way politics works, and we all know that? As for emergency legislation and it could not happen because it is not emergency legislation, I do not know if the Minister of State has read Alice in Wonderland.
