It is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that the Dáil shall sit later than 9 p.m. tonight; the sitting shall now suspend until 2.30 p.m. and the business to be transacted then shall be the motion of confidence in the Taoiseach and the Government, and the proceedings thereon shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion after three hours and the following arrangements shall apply: the speeches of the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and leaders of Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin and the Technical Group, or persons nominated in their stead, who shall be called upon in that order, shall not exceed 15 minutes in each case and such Members may share their time, the speech of each other Member called upon shall not exceed ten minutes in each case and such Members may share their time, a Minister or Minister of State shall be called upon to make a statement in reply which shall not exceed five minutes, and the order shall resume with Leaders' Questions; Oral Questions to the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht shall be taken following the Order of Business for 75 minutes; Topical Issues shall be taken on the conclusion of Oral Questions; and Private Members' business shall be taken on the conclusion of Topical Issues for 90 minutes.
