Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

I still have not heard an explanation from the Chief Whip as to why this was not dealt with on the Order of Business. It was known about. What is the sense of urgency if there is time tomorrow? We have a very full day today and are not just rushing every item but guillotining Bills and pushing out the parameters of what we have already agreed. It seems reasonable and desirable to deal with the matter tomorrow rather than today.
