Order of Business.
A Private Notice Question has been tabled on behalf of our party by Deputy Gene Fitzgerald in connection with the current crisis in fuel distribution. Could the Chair give me any indication of whether this question has been accepted?
I have not seen the question yet but I appreciate the implications and the importance of the question. The Deputy may rest assured that proper consideration will be given to it.
I understand. It was only handed in some minutes before you took the Chair this morning, but I should like to say that we reserve the right to raise the matter again if necessary.
