It is proposed to take business in the following order: Nos. 1, 2, 5, 4 and in 4, Vote 16, Nos. 7 and 6.
Order of Business.
Is it proposed to take Private Deputies' business?
No.
On the Order of Business, might I ask the Tánaiste would the Government consider giving special time next week to Motion No. 15 on the Private Deputies' List? It is the motion standing in my name and that of Deputy Beirne of Roscommon.
The Government has not considered that request because it is the first time we have heard it.
Could the Tánaiste indicate whether the Minister for Justice and the Minister for Local Government have yet had time to determine when they can carry out the undertaking given to me to legislate on the lines of a Private Bill which is still under discussion in Private Members' time dealing with the Public Authorities Protection Act?
I will endeavour to let the Deputy know next week.
Will the Tánaiste say whether the House will sit to-morrow?
There will be no sitting to-morrow and it is proposed to sit on Wednesday and Thursday next week.
And there will be no sitting on Friday of next week?
Probably not.
It is not proposed to sit to-morrow?
No.
Could the Tánaiste tell us when we may expect a copy of the Book of Estimates?
Possibly towards the end of next week or early in the following week.
May I ask you to give me leave to raise the subject matter of Question No. 9 on to-day's Order Paper on the Adjournment?
I will communicate with the Deputy.
On a point of order. Is the Deputy entitled to give such notice at this stage?
Yes.
