Order of Business

This is a highly irregular and presumptuous proposal. It presumes that the motion we are about to debate on the Standing Orders will be passed and, therefore, these new criteria will kick in straightaway. I object to a motion such as that, presuming what the House would do. That is not the way to do business in any form. I have no difficulty with a Friday sitting, as we have had in the past in dealing with Private Members' Bills, but it is highly irregular to have a motion presuming the Dáil will take and discuss Dáil reform proposals.
