David Norris (Independent)

I have a suggestion to make, which I would like the Cathaoirleach and the leaders of the groups to take on board. Every day the Order of Business is taken up almost entirely with financial matters and there are continuous interruptions. This is a very hot debate and there are spats between the Chair and individual Members. Last week the House was suspended on a number of occasions and that time was not allowed for. Innocent Members of the House were caught in friendly fire. I suggest that, as we did in the case of the Iraq war, we should have a rolling debate on the economy. Why not have one hour every day dedicated to the matter? We may not take it all.
