It is proposed, notwithstanding the resolution of the Dáil of 3 October 2017, that in the context of tomorrow's and Thursday's sittings, the Dáil shall sit at 10 a.m. each day and that on Thursday it shall adjourn on the adjournment of the debate on the general financial resolution or at 4 p.m., whichever is the earlier. Oral questions within the meaning of Standing Order 38(1)(b) shall be taken at 10 a.m. each day, followed immediately by Leaders' Questions, in accordance with the schedule agreed on 3 October.
Business of Dáil
Is the proposal agreed? Agreed. Before calling on the Minister for Finance, I remind Members that the budget documents being circulated remain confidential until the Minister has announced them.
Except in The Irish Times.
They should not be taken or sent by any means from the House before the conclusion of the statements.
Has that cleared the Cabinet?
It is a very important point to make.
Somewhere the former Minister and Deputy, Mr. Phil Hogan, is having a laugh.
