No. We would like to propose that the Business Committee be convened later to discuss two amendments to the Order of Business for Thursday. First, given that Saturday is the fifth anniversary of the death of Savita Halappanavar and in view of the fact that Thursday is the closest Dáil sitting day to that, we would like the committee to consider that a minute's silence be organised in the House on that day in her memory. Second, given that there is to be a national rail strike next Wednesday - the first of five strike days - and that the Dáil is not sitting next week and in light of the fact that there are strong indications that the CEO of Irish Rail, with the support of the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, collapsed the talks last week, time should be set aside that day to discuss the national rail crisis.
