In fairness to everyone involved, we were not aware of the Seanad sitting when we made the arrangements for the business on Friday. The point the Taoiseach makes is absolutely valid, in that legislation must take priority over statements. The proposed change from Friday to Monday is not something of earth-shattering significance, but I am in the House's hands. The Business Committee will be convened in some form this afternoon and we will consider all these matters. Is that okay?
