Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Yes. I move amendment No. 1:

That all words after "that" be deleted and replaced with the following:

"Notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, the proceedings and the motion of nomination of Members or Members of the Government shall be taken immediately after Leaders' Questions and shall continue after Private Members' business and conclude at 10.30 p.m. by one question which shall be put from the Chair; and any division demanded thereon shall be taken manually."

The Taoiseach and the members of his Government have returned to this House, after an absence of two weeks, at a time when Molesworth Street is filled with people waiting for passports and there is increasing panic in financial circles that more and more liquidations and insolvencies are being recorded.
