----- because of the present plight of the people of Ireland, the Labour Party has conceded it's Private Members' time for this week. While I have allocated next week's time to the Labour Party, in the event that the flooding has not receded, I will call on it again next Wednesday to allow Members to make the case for their particular localities with the Minister present. As I already have indicated, Members will have an up-to-date situation report every day in this House on the present plight of the people regarding flooding.
