I ask for leave to withdraw the arrangements proposed yesterday in regard to statements on the recent US executive order on immigration due to take place this Thursday morning. The statements have been substituted for statements on hospital waiting lists. It is proposed, notwithstanding previous orders of the Dáil this week, that: the Dáil shall sit at 9.30 a.m. to take the statements on hospital waiting lists; the statements shall be brought to a conclusion after two and a half hours; the speech of a Minister or Minister of State and the main spokespersons for parties or groups, or Members nominated in their stead, will have ten minutes each; a Minister or Minister of State will take questions for a period not exceeding 70 minutes; all Members may share time; and if the item is concluded before 12 noon, the House shall suspend until 12 noon, when Leaders' Questions shall commence.
