Order of Business.
At this stage could the Taoiseach say whether the House is likely to sit next week?
I should think it should be possible to terminate the programme of this session next week, with possibly a meeting on Friday, but it is a matter upon which the Whips might get together and have a talk.
There is a possibility of finishing on Friday—Friday week or this Friday?
We cannot finish this week. The P.A.Y.E. Bill is ordered for next week.
Not this week, next week.
When is the first sitting next week?
Wednesday.
Can the Taoiseach give any indication of when it is hoped to resume after Christmas?
I should hoped to be able to let the Deputy know that next week.
