On a point of order, this House has a constitutional duty to the people who voted to retain us in the referendum in October. Here we are making a fool of the people by not having a full debate on the most important Bill of the year. It is a shame and you, a Chathaoirligh, should not allow this to happen. You should override this decision. It is outrageous. The people are being laughed at. Why did we have a referendum?
