Business, as set out on the Order Paper, will be taken as follows: No. 15 (Votes 40 and 48). Questions will be taken at 2.30 p.m.
Order of Business.
When will the Book of Estimates be circulated?
I could not say that, offhand. Perhaps, the Deputy will ask me the question again early next week. Before we proceed, I might point out that quite a number of outstanding Estimates are left which will have to be got through before the Easter Recess. Because of the short week next week — St. Patrick's Day being on Monday and normally the Dáil not sitting on the day after a holiday of that nature — I suggest we might consider sitting for a 12-hour day on Wednesday next, from 10.30 a.m. to 10.30 p.m.
The Whips will meet.
It is usual to discuss these matters. We have had no notice of that.
I think a reference was made to it yesterday.
There was, all right.
We shall consider it.
