I want to know who the other Members who have indicated they want to speak are, because we are supposed to have a vote on this tonight. The Chief Whip has come in to say that the Government is going to give us more time and now the Members are going to say they do not want more time. A vote is scheduled for tonight and a vote should take place.
For the benefit of people watching in, what is due to happen, without any change, is that everyone who has indicated and is present will have spoken within the allocated time, a vote would have proceeded and everyone who had sought time would have had the opportunity to speak. If the Chief Whip says there should be more time afforded to the debate, I am all for that. I have assured Deputy MacSharry, who had indicated to me that he wanted to speak, that time would be made available to him.
