Order of Business (4 Apr 2017)

Regina Doherty: Deputy Boyd Barrett is correct. Last week we agreed that we would allocate the entire Topical Issue debate to the issue today and that the Ceann Comhairle would make a decision.

Order of Business (4 Apr 2017)

Regina Doherty: People keep looking towards me as if it is my decision to make. It is not. What we agreed on Thursday was that we would have Topical Issues today. The Ceann Comhairle made a ruling this morning that we will wait until Topical Issues today and he will then have a meeting. It is not up to me to decide that we are going to have a debate on Thursday morning. It is up to us to decide.

Order of Business (11 Apr 2017)

Regina Doherty: To be helpful to the two Deputies, procedurally one cannot bring a motion for something that has not concluded yet.

Once the committee has accepted a draft report I will bring a motion to the House asking it to vote on that draft report but I cannot do it before the committee has finished...

If the committee does not conclude its deliberations, I am procedurally unable to bring forward a motion or put something to the House.

Regina Doherty: Therefore, the debate and statements will start at 6.05 p.m If the Joint Committee on Future Funding of Domestic Water Services has concluded its deliberations at that stage or beforehand, I will bring forward the motion. If not, the motion will be dealt with during the voting block on Thursday.
