Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In relation to the Windsor Framework, we propose to take statements on it next week. We want to give Members some time to read and digest all the documentation. We propose to set aside Government time next week for that.

In relation to the Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, it is my understanding he is seeking time to make a statement today. I am not sure if the Ceann Comhairle is across that, but the Minister of State wants to make a statement at any rate and has agreed to do so.

On staff safety and sheep farmers and the problems they are facing, I think these are matters for the Business Committee. I am sure we can find time to discuss these issues, but there is Opposition time as well. Perhaps we could use Opposition time to discuss one issue and Government time to discuss the other.
