Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputies. There will be statements today on law and order and the events of last Thursday. Tomorrow, the Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, will take Taoiseach's questions and Questions on Promised Legislation in my stead for the best part of an hour, during which time she may be asked questions on any matter Members wish to ask about. I will be attending COP28 in Dubai so will not be able to attend in the House tomorrow.

There are no plans for a guillotine on the Planning and Development Bill. Second Stage was delayed. We have no plans at present for a guillotine.

A debate on migration is a matter for the Business Committee to schedule. I have no objection to it whatsoever, but I would suggest that we would need some ground rules and the professionalism of a very strong Chair for such a debate.

I understand that a motion on neutrality is being taken this week.
