Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

On a point of order, the Ceann Comhairle seems to be restricting what can be raised on the Order of Business outside of the Standing Orders. Under Standing Order 26, the following can be raised: business on the Order Paper; the taking of business that has been promised - which is what was just raised by my colleague - including legislation promised either within or outside the Dáil; the making of secondary legislation; arrangements for sittings; and when Bills and other documents on the Order Paper will be circulated. However, the Ceann Comhairle seems to be restricting it to promised legislation, which he has no power to do.
