I remind the House that we are discussing the proposal for dealing with the Credit Union Bill 2012.

This is about the arrangements for dealing with the Credit Union Bill. It involves the amendments made to the Bill in the Seanad in which seven amendments were made at the request of Fianna Fáil.

And Sinn Féin.

The amendments are being brought before the House as we are required to do.

We can deal with them next week.

We will sit next Monday.

We are happy to deal with them next week.

They were the Opposition's ideas.

It is the ordering of business with which we have an issue.

The debate arranged for last Friday and Monday was on the issue of the A,B and C report. Several weeks ago Members, including some of those who have just spoken, told us how important it was to have a reasoned debate on the matter. We complied with that request.

We wanted the Government to pass legislation on the matter.

What we are getting is classic Fianna Fáil hypocrisy. This is the party that cut €936 from child benefit in its budgets, €850 from jobseeker's payments-----

Why does the Tánaiste not extend the time allowed to discuss the budget?

If the news is so good, why can we not debate the budget?

Ours was the party that increased benefits.

We are only debating this issue until 2 p.m.

Fianna Fáil took €850 from carer's allowance. It even cut the blind pension.

We want a debate. Go back to North Korea and to your roots.

Will the Tánaiste sit down?

Order, please.

Fianna Fáil Members are now making complaints about a budget that is fair and reasonable. Can I make one request of Sinn Féin? Please, do not come here and talk about conscience. It is in no position to talk about it.

We have learned one thing anyway - big majorities make one arrogant.
