Is the Tánaiste in a position to say when time will be given for the consideration of the motion to annul the Employment Period Order? It is a statutory order and the grievance to which it relates has been operative since the 5th of the month. Would he consider the possibility of making time available next week?
I shall look into the matter.
Is it intended to sit next week?
I think so, but I am not sure. I shall let the Deputy know in the morning.
Is there any understanding about the disposal of the financial business on the paper?
I understood that the financial business was to be disposed of by the time we usually rise to-morrow. That is the only understanding of which I know.
It might be safer to say that the financial business will be given, so far as this Party is concerned, some time to-morrow.
If financial business should conclude this evening, is it intended to sit to-morrow?
No.
That is a contingency we need not dwell upon.
