There are two proposals to be put to the House. Is the proposal that the Dáil shall sit later than 8.30 p.m. agreed? Agreed. Is the proposal to deal with Nos. 9, 10, 11 and 14, without debate agreed?

I seek clarification on the timetable. A time has not been specified for the conclusion of Dáil business today. Does the Government intend to allow the Dáil to continue in session until the provisions of the Bill and the financial resolution are dealt with?

It is intended that the House will determine when it completes its business. I am sure we will be practical about this matter.
