Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

The business of the House is being arranged in a stop-gap way with a large amount of time given to statements but little to legislation. There will be statements all this week. We started on Monday with a rather damp squib of a debate on Europe. There are a mounting number of measures which the Government has indicated it will introduce and publish over the next two months. Members would appreciate if we could get a schedule from the Government on the likely business to be conducted by the House over the next three months. Will the Taoiseach agree to this reasonable request and publish a schedule of House business and legislation?
