I move:

That, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders or the order of the Dáil of this day,

a motion of confidence in the Minister for Defence, which is on a supplementary Order Paper, shall be taken at 3.45 p.m. today, and shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion after 90 minutes, and the following arrangements shall apply: speeches shall be confined to a Minister or Minister of State and to the main spokespersons for Fine Gael, the Labour Party and Sinn Féin, who shall be called upon in that order and who may share time, but whose speeches shall not exceed 20 minutes in each case; and a Minister or Minister of State shall be called upon to make a speech in reply which shall not exceed ten minutes.
