This will be a textbook case for students of political science for years to come on how a Government can be manipulated by one man. There are probably half a dozen PhDs to be earned from the Bill. The Leader will get his way this evening and discussion of the Bill will be guillotined. I am very sorry that the name of the Minister, Deputy Flanagan, is associated with it. He is much better than that.
