I propose that we suspend the sitting until 5.15 p.m.

Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)

On what grounds?

The Minister is on his way and will be here at 5.15 p.m.

That is unacceptable. We agreed to the Order of Business and this constitutes a change.

I have just been requested to make this proposal, as there is a vote in the Dáil.

Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)

We should not suspend the sitting for a vote in the Dáil. That is not normal procedure.

I propose, therefore, that we come back at 5.10 p.m.

Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)

I do not agree to that.

As the Minister has arrived, I will gladly withdraw the proposal.
