Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

The Order of Business is No. 1, Industrial Relations (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2011 - Report and Final Stages, to be taken on the conclusion of the Order of Business and to conclude not later than 5.15 p.m.; No. 2, Microenterprise Loan Fund Bill 2012 - Committee and Remaining Stages, to be taken on the conclusion of No. 1 and to conclude not later than 7.15 p.m. The revision of today's schedule to deal with the Remaining Stages of No. 2 is due to the fact that only two Committee Stage amendments were received by the Bills Office and both were ruled out of order. That is why I have decided to take Remaining Stages of the Bill at that time.

I advise the House in advance of the statements on the development of the European Union and Ireland's Presidency of the European Council, which will take place tomorrow, it is my intention to allocate ten minutes speaking time to each group leader, which can be shared, with Sinn Féin receiving three minutes of speaking time. This is the most efficient way to order the time for the Taoiseach's visit.
