Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The Thornton Hall issue was to be dealt with today but that has now been deferred until after 17 June. The proposal regarding No. 2 demonstrates that the Government has no business to replace the Thornton Hall issue after Question Time today. Why is there no business to be dealt with today in the absence of the Thornton Hall debate? I note that on the day the House resumes it is proposed to guillotine the debate on the Dublin Transport Authority Bill. Why is that Bill not before the House today or, indeed, any other legislation we should be dealing with?
