Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

It is important before we proceed that the House receives clarification on two important matters, namely, whether the House will adhere to the weekly Dáil schedule as published and, that the undertaking given to us by the Taoiseach that there would be a questions and answers session following the conclusion of statements will be adhered to. The undertaking was that the Minister for Finance would take questions and provide answers following the conclusion of statements. It is important both those matters are clarified. I suggest the House be adjourned for five minutes while we await that clarification.
