Questions on Promised Legislation

A statutory instrument signed into law by the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, about a month ago affects tractors which can do 40 km/h or more. The Minister has since announced that he is withdrawing it but I understand that a statutory procedure has to come before the House for the House to decide to undo or remove the statutory instrument. There is only 30 days for it to be rejected by the Dáil but the tractors in question are necessary for our agricultural economy. We are running out of time, as the Chief Whip knows, as the end of the 30-day period is next week. When will the process to reject the statutory instrument be brought before the House?
