Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

We had little or no legislation in this House for the first seven or eight weeks of this term. It now appears that the Green Party wants three or four Bills passed before we have a general election. It makes one wonder whether it was January 2012 they had in mind for a general election rather than January 2011. The Leader might be in a position to inform the House of the intended sitting days for next week, whether we intend to sit the following week, and the position on an early return in January. Such information would be helpful to Members.
