Seán Fleming (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I want to put on the record, for future reference so people will know what is happening here tonight, that we are discussing No. 18, a motion that Dáil Éireann shall consider a report of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, entitled Relevant report on the relevant proposal for a banking inquiry under Standing Orders and the Houses of the Oireachtas (Inquiries, Privileges and Procedures) Act 2013. When we complete this another motion will be tabled, on the terms of reference of the banking inquiry, but no debate on it whatever will take place in the House. I want to put down a marker that when somebody asks whether the terms of reference of the inquiry into the banking crisis were debated in the Chamber the answer will be "No" because No. 19 will be taken without debate. Is this a good way to do business?
