Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

May I explain exactly what happened? Yesterday evening, we got a list of the questions that were being grouped. On yesterday's Order Paper, my question was not No. 9, but No. 4. I read the list, which referred to Nos. 6 and 9, and thought that I was fine because I was No. 4.

When Deputies are given the groupings, do they refer to the numbering on the Order Paper at the time the listing was received or do they refer to the Order Paper that will be issued at midnight for the following day? That is where the confusion arose. I was careful to check.
