It is proposed to take business in the following order:—No. 4 and in No. 5 (Votes 32 to 40). With regard to meeting next week, Tuesday is a holyday and we therefore propose to meet on Wednesday and Thursday and to sit on Friday.
Order of Business.
Will the Taoiseach say whether, in view of the slowness of business, he will consider having a few all-day sittings until 10.30 p.m.?
I hope it will not be necessary to resort to that expedient. If Deputies would agree to curtail their speeches a little without in any way interfering with the right of any Deputy to make a speech, it might be possible to avoid what the Deputy suggests. I am very anxious not to have any all-night sittings.
The Deputy suggested all-day sittings.
That might be worth consideration.
