I ask the Minister of State to move the suspension of the sitting until 3.42 p.m.

On a point of order, the Dáil will be suspended for several hours. The way business is ordered will be a cost on the Exchequer, which is very regrettable.

That is not a point of order.

The way business is ordered is very regrettable and again demonstrates that the Executive is controlling the business of the Dáil rather than the Legislature and I object to it.

Sitting suspended at 1 p.m. and resumed at 3.40 p.m.
