Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

I am being very orderly. I have Standing Order 26 to hand. One would want to have a mind of elastic to try to stretch into that Standing Order the ability to give power to the Government to actually change a decision made yesterday. There is nothing like that in the Standing Order. However that Standing Order could be applied to this situation, it is simply ordering the business of the day. Is the Ceann Comhairle saying the Government can order the business of the day and rescind business of yesterday? There is nothing in the Standing Orders of this House to allow the Minister to do that.
