Clearly, the existing programme for Government is a dead letter and it is very difficult to raise issues or questions on a programme for Government that no longer applies. Can the Taoiseach give some indication to the House as to...

Order of Business (19 May 2009)

Eamon Gilmore: I am asking the Taoiseach if that is the Government's intention, because the calendar that has been circulated to us has 2 July on it. Is it the Government's intention the House will rise as early as 2 July this year? That is quite astonishing, given all that we have to do.
