It is proposed to take the business on the Order Paper in the following order:—Nos. 6, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Order of Business.
Could the Parliamentary Secretary to the Taoiseach say whether to-day or to-morrow would be the most suitable to raise the matter of which I have given notice already?
Does the Deputy refer to the question he desired to raise on the Adjournment?
Yes. I asked permission on Thursday to raise it whenever the Minister was available.
I doubt whether the Minister will be in attendance to-day.
I shall find out whether he will be available.
Mr. Byrne
I should like to ask when the motion on family allowances will be taken. I understand that the Tánaiste gave a promise to Deputy Dillon that it would be taken to-day.
No such promise was given.
Mr. Byrne
Will the Tánaiste say when it will be taken? I understood from Deputy Dillon that a promise was given.
I am not aware that any such promise was given.
Mr. Byrne
Will the Tánaiste say when it is likely to be taken?
I cannot say. We are now starting the financial business and I do not know when an opportunity will arise. I shall be glad to discuss it when an opportunity can be given.
Is the House likely to sit next week?
No.
