There are three proposals to put to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with the late sitting agreed? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with No. 14, motion re Supplementary Estimates for public services, agreed to?

It is not agreed to. It seems extraordinary that we are dealing with Supplementary Estimates involving hundreds of millions, if not billions, of euro while the plenary session of the Dáil is not in a position to have any serious debate about them. One Supplementary Estimate alone involves €665 million for the health service, which was disgracefully treated in the past, but a total of only 20 minutes will be allocated to all of them. By any yardstick, that represents a dramatic lack of accountability on the part of individual Departments to the full assembly of the Dáil. Large amounts of taxpayers' money are being spent without any real debate or discussion on them. They have been discussed in various committees but there is a plenary session here, too, and people who are not members of individual committees-----

They can attend.

They may not have the opportunity.

The Deputy is entitled to a short contribution. I think he has made his point.

We are talking about €1.6 billion of taxpayers' money being rushed through in 20 minutes. It is a disgrace. This is some democratic revolution. There will be five minutes for each spokesperson.

The Deputy has made his point. This is the Order of Business.

Parliament is being consistently undermined by Government.

It is the law of large numbers.

This is the return of the Estimates to the plenary session of the House. They were all discussed individually in committee, and party spokespersons and anybody else who wished had full entitlement to go to those discussions and ask any questions they wanted for as long as they wished. We are not going to have the same thing in here. They were discussed individually and in detail. I am not sure whether Deputy Martin's spokespersons turned up, but they had the opportunity to debate them at any length they wished in the place they should be debated in detail, namely, in committee.

That is not the point. I would like to discuss them. Are we to abolish the plenary session of the Dáil?

Did Deputy Martin check whether his spokespersons turned up? What questions did they ask? Did they make a contribution?

It is about every Member of the House having the opportunity. Does the Taoiseach understand Parliament?

Does Deputy Martin understand Parliament?

Is the proposal for dealing with Private Members' business agreed to? Agreed.
