Deputy Boyd Barrett is correct. Last week we agreed that we would allocate the entire Topical Issue debate to the issue today and that the Ceann Comhairle would make a decision. I understand from speaking to him this morning that he will make the decision as to whether we have a debate on Thursday morning. It is not off the agenda.
