Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I want to read out the e-mail that was sent to the Whips yesterday evening:

Following on this evening’s Cabinet meeting it is proposed to move a debate on the motion re disposal of shares of Aer Lingus group over the next two days. The debate will start at 10.45 and will run to 9 p.m. tomorrow and will resume on Thursday morning at 10.45 and will run through Thursday. There will be the usual time slots for PQs, Order of Business, Leader’s Questions, Topical issues. Private Member’s business will take place tomorrow evening and will run from 9 p.m. to 10.30 p.m. tonight. With the usual vote to follow.

Then we went through the proposed breakdown. At the end of it I said, “If any Whip wants to give my private office a ring” I have given my mobile number.
