Order of Business
10:30 am
Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)
This is not simply a matter of precedent. Standing Order 26(2) (a) states that the Taoiseach, or the Tánaiste, "may propose, on motion made without notice, arrangements for sittings and for the taking of such business until such business has been disposed of; save where any such proposal is opposed, the Ceann Comhairle shall permit a brief statement from a representative from each party in opposition and the Taoiseach before he or she puts the question thereon".
