Seán Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, Ceann Comhairle) | Oireachtas source

Before the Taoiseach takes his place, I want to read the following for the information of the House:

Under Standing Order 27 - which deals with Leaders' Questions - at the commencement of public business on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the Ceann Comhairle may permit, at his or her discretion, a brief question not exceeding two minutes from each leader in opposition to the Taoiseach about a matter of topical public importance in respect of which the following arrangements will apply.

The order then deals with the time limits, namely, two minutes for asking the question, three minutes to reply and a minute's supplementary which shall be brief.

Will those responsible for asking Leaders' Questions please adhere to the standing order?
