Order of Business (13 May 2015)

Micheál Martin: This relates to how the business of the House is ordered. After the May bank holiday weekend, we had business for one and a half days in that week. There seems to be a pattern emerging in the past while of inactivity and a lack of legislation in the House.

Micheál Martin: It is the legislative programme that the Government has put before the House and the Government's proposals for the House. Over the past while there has been a pattern of inactivity and meeting as few times as possible. The proposal from the Government Chief Whip for next week is to meet on one day, next Tuesday. The week following the June bank holiday is to be taken off.
