On a point of clarification, all of these votes will pass today and we will not have another chance to debate this. I want clarity. Are we agreeing a Friday sitting? If the Taoiseach is insisting on going ahead with the mother and baby homes legislation on Wednesday and Thursday – I assume he is insisting on going ahead with that – we need Friday cleared now for business. If we get a commitment from the Taoiseach now that we will sit on Friday, then we will not push this matter to a vote on the Order of Business.
