Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

The Government has not provided for a sos despite its proposal for a late sitting. The House takes a sos on Wednesdays when it sits for the number of hours proposed for today. Party spokespersons on justice, who will spend most of the day dealing with the Garda Síochána Bill 2004, will also have to be present in the House for Question Time with the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform this afternoon, and we are expected to sit in the Chamber without a break until 8 o'clock.
