John Gormley

Mr. Gormley: The Defence (Amendment) Bill 2005 represents the most significant departure from our traditional defence policy and undoes the triple lock mechanism.  Will all Stages of this Bill be taken in one day next week.  If that is the case, it is disgraceful.  It is disgraceful to spend one day on all Stages of this major legislation. 
   The Taoiseach: The answer is “Yes”.
   Mr. Gormley: That is absolutely disgraceful.  Many traditional Fianna Fáil supporters will be shocked at the Taoiseach’s blasé attitude. 
   An Ceann Comhairle: I ask Deputy Gormley to allow Deputy Durkan to speak.  If he does not do so, we will move on the next item.
