Social Welfare Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-23
============================================================

Seán Ó Fearghaíl (CC), Kildare South

For the information of Deputy O'Dea, as regards the timing allocated, I accept his point that it represents a vast departure from the traditional way of approaching the Finance Bill and the Social Welfare Bill, but the time is allocated by party whips, in this case the Government Chief Whip. In fact, the time available for Second Stage debates is also decided by the Government Chief Whip and the Government.
