Seán Ó Fearghaíl (Kildare South, Fianna Fail)

I commend the Government on moving towards the sort of proposals regarding Friday sittings that Fianna Fáil has had on the table for a long time. It is good there is an Order of Business and that legislation is before Members today. Can the Minister assure Members that future Friday sittings to deal with Private Members' business, which is important and has been a positive initiative in this House, will expand to do precisely what is being done today? Will such sittings have an Order of Business, will Ministers answer questions and will legislation be brought before Members?
