Order of Business
11:10 am

On No. 9b, the motion re Standing Orders being suspended to change the normal running order next Tuesday, the business will commence with the Budget Statements only. There will be no Leaders' Questions, no Order of Business, no questions to a Minister and no Taoiseach's questions, which comprise normal business on a Tuesday. We understand it is an exceptional day but it is uncommon that there is no other business other than the budget next Tuesday. I suggest that the Dáil should sit earlier to accommodate some of those changes. It had been suggested prior to the Whips' meeting last night that this would be done, but then it suddenly disappeared from the schedule. I ask that we meet at 1 o'clock next Tuesday and that we have an Order of Business and Leaders' Questions.
