Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I want to vary the Order of Business for next week and I will be proposing to do so at 2.30 p.m. next Wednesday. If the motion we will shortly be voting on is passed and there is no Order of Business, I would like the Ceann Comhairle to tell me what opportunity I will have to propose that the Order of Business be varied. If there is no Standing Order 32, what opportunity will I have to ask that the business of the House be set aside to discuss another matter? If there is no Private Members' business, how may I, as an Opposition Deputy, make a proposal on any matter?
