Last week in the early hours of the morning, the Taoiseach nailed the citizens of this country legally to the cross of Anglo Irish Bank's debts for decades to come, ramming the Bill through in the dead of night.

What legislation does this come under?

It has been suggested that there will be a guillotine on the motion on this matter this week despite the fact that the Taoiseach promised last week that there would be no guillotine and that anybody who wished to speak on it would be allowed to do so. I ask the Taoiseach to remove any plans to impose a guillotine on that motion.

We do not deal with rumours on the Order of Business.

It is dead of night legislation.

Is it on the Order of Business that it will be guillotined?

It is not in today's or tomorrow's Order of Business. If more time is required, we will be happy to have it.

Then let us not deal with speculation.

Most people I met seem very relieved that this burden has been taken off the Irish taxpayers' shoulders for a very long time.
