Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I do not know whether the Taoiseach, the Chief Whip or the Ceann Comhairle can hear me. However, I seek the agreement of the Taoiseach, the Chief Whip and all parties in the House. On today's Order Paper it is stated that "Private Members' Business shall be No. 44 — Motion re: Labour Affairs: Establishment of Department of and Joint Oireachtas Committee on (resumed — to conclude at 8.30 p.m. tonight)". As one can anticipate that a division may be called at 7 p.m., that will encroach on Private Members' time unless we acknowledge that it concludes after 90 minutes, which is the understanding and intent always in this respect. I am asking that the usual practice applies in this case and that Private Members' Business concludes after 90 minutes. Will the Taoiseach indicate his acceptance of that?
