I seek the Adjournment of the Dáil to discuss an issue of national importance, particularly with regard to the outrage among the public, namely, the need to publish under section 134 of the Finance Ac...
Order of Business.
On the same matter, because I am not sure whether——
No. May I seek clarification in relation to this matter? As I understand the order, the House will rise at 4.45 p.m. and adjourn until 27 January 1999. I cannot reconcile the order to which we are n...
I am suggesting that the Taoiseach can propose this. We may, following the outcome of the debate, not wish to rise today. We cannot anticipate that.
You are asking the House to agree to rise at its normal time.
I am referring to today's Order of Business, which states that the Dáil on its rising today——
Thank you, A Cheann Comhairle. I will return to it at that time.
No, Sir.
I know that Opposition Deputies and parties do not have the right to propose an amendment to the Order of Business but the Taoiseach does have such a right. I ask the Taoiseach to agree to an arrange...
A Cheann Comhairle, we appreciate that you have agreed to a Standing Order No. 31 request resulting in an alteration to the Order of Business. I am seeking clarification in support of the point made...
If that is what the Government wishes to do then fair enough.
I do not want to find myself in a situation whereby we agree to No. 7 and cannot raise the issue of the Dáil coming back tomorrow morning, for example, to deal with the consequences of what might be ...
Does the Taoiseach agree the unilateral action taken by the US and UK forces against the people of Iraq is unwarranted? Does he agree the security council should at least have had the opportunity to ...

Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31: Collection of Taxes.
Today is a test of how much progress we have made in recent years and a test of the Taoiseach and his new model Fianna Fáil. So far he has failed to understand the absolute outrage among the public w...
Or has the public simply stopped ringing Fianna Fáil?
If it has stopped ringing, that is even worse. It is amazing how some things hurt. There is an old maxim: justice not only needs to be done but must be seen to be done. Make no mistake about it, nob...
I will repeat the charge for the Minister of State if he so desires. I know the truth hurts. Where stands the “people before politics” slogan which Fianna Fáil Members championed in the last electio...
Deputy Roche knows that the eternal truth of politics is this: Fianna Fáil comes before everyone else. Once again the House has been damaged by Fianna Fáil. The Taoiseach has talked a good game but ...
