Mary Butler (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I appreciate the Ceann Comhairle's efficiency. The Business Committee met last Thursday at 11 a.m. There was no request for a debate on energy last Thursday. We will have another Business Committee meeting tomorrow at 11 a.m. and I can take on board all the requests that have been made. Yes, we will certainly have a debate or statements on Gaza in the next week or two. That was discussed last Thursday. We will certainly be able to facilitate this. The Minister is in the Dáil this afternoon for statements on the disability strategy and speaking time is available if anybody would like to speak. I will see the Whips at 11 a.m. tomorrow and the business as of today stands.
