Before we pass on to the next business, does the Dáil have to approve of the names that have just been mentioned?

The Taoiseach

I think it has been arranged between the Whips in the usual way. I do not think it is essential to seek the approval of the House. I think it is sufficient to announce the names as has been done on other occasions.
