The Government has been accused of trying to pull an "old fashioned Fianna Fáil stroke" by introducing a last-minute amendment to allow for political party super draws.
There were sparky exchanges in the Dáil after the opposition rounded on the Taoiseach over plans to guillotine a Dáil debate on the proposal that would allow for fundraisers such as monster draws and lotteries.
