I ask the Leader to withdraw the Bill. I do not understand the hurry with this Bill. I ask that it be kicked back into next week, because we will not accept it, and on that basis we will not agree to the Order of Business. This is not a way to do our business. I am not saying we are necessarily opposed to the Bill itself, but we should not be doing our business that way.

I have a question for the Cathaoirleach about the procedure for Commencement matters. I lodged a Commencement matter on Tuesday which was taken this morning, for which I am grateful. When a Commencement matter is tabled, when is the Department concerned advised of the matter?
