Rory O'Hanlon (Cavan-Monaghan, Ceann Comhairle)

The Chair decided we had to finish the Order of Business in time to allow the Energy (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2006 to be discussed. This House, not the Chair, decided that the Bill would conclude at 12.15 p.m. It was decided unanimously by the House and there was no vote on it. The Chair must ensure that when this House makes a decision some provision is made to implement it. The Chair took the decision and we are moving on with the Bill.
