Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.
Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 31 dealing with two different topics. I propose to deal with these topics separately and I will ...
Having considered the matter fully, I do not consider it to be in accordance with Standing Order 31. On the second topic, I received notice from Deputies McManus, Gay Mitchell, Neville, Ring and Sarg...
Order, please.
Deputies should not criticise the Chair. I intend to give some consideration to Private Notice Questions on this matter if they are submitted for later today.
Thank you.
Order of Business.
There are three proposals to be put to the House. The first is the proposal for dealing with Nos. 24, 24a and 24b. These are motions for the approval of the terms of the Treaty between the Government ...
This is a proposal to deal with these matters.
That is not in order.
Only one speaker from each group may speak on this motion.
Is the proposal agreed to?
There is a motion before the House. I cannot allow two contributions to the same motion.
I will allow a brief question from Deputy Jim Mitchell.
We are deciding how to take them. They are to be decided without debate and any division demanded taken forthwith.
I must put the proposal.
Is the proposal for dealing with Nos. 24, 24a and 24b agreed to?
Is the proposal for dealing with No. 1, European Communities and Swiss Confederation Bill, 2001 [Seanad] – Second Stage (resumed) and Subsequent Stages agreed to? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing w...

An Tánaiste, a final reply.
The Tánaiste, without interruption. Will Deputy Rabbitte please resume his seat. Deputy Howlin has asked his supplementary question. Will Deputies please allow the Tánaiste to reply?
I will now take relevant questions on the Order of Business. I call Deputy Michael Creed.
The Deputy should confine himself to a question on promised legislation.
It is not in order to continue with a statement at this stage. The Deputy will have his opportunity when the Bill comes before the House.
The Deputy should ask his question.
I call Deputy Jim Mitchell.
The Deputy cannot comment on that. This is the Order of Business.
The Deputy has ways of raising the matter but it is not in order on the Order of Business.
The Deputy can raise the matter in other ways but not on the Order of Business. I ask the Deputy to resume his seat. He should raise the matter through the correct procedures.
There are other ways to raise it. It is not in order to raise the matter on the Order of Business.
The Deputy is being disorderly and I ask him to resume his seat. I will have to ask the Deputy to leave the House if he does not resume his seat.
I have ruled the Deputy out of order so he must resume his seat.
The Deputy should not continue with his statement.

Road Traffic Bill, 2001: Second Stage (Resumed).
The Deputy must conclude as his time is almost up.
Is that agreed? Agreed.
Priority Questions.
It is not possible to alter the order.
The House made a decision to take Priority Questions at 3.30 p.m. and the Chair has no option in the matter. It is the decision of Members of the House. The decision was made yesterday.
The Deputy is in total defiance of the democratic decision of the House.
The Government cannot do so because the order of the House is made by the Members of the House. Under Standing Orders the Chair has no option but to take Priority Questions. I call Question No. 1.
The Deputy should resume his seat. He knows he is out of order and he should not be raising these matters.
The Deputy is well aware he is out of order and he is also well aware that yesterday the House decided to take Priority Questions at 3.30 p.m. and that the order cannot be changed at this stage. The C...
I have allowed the Deputy some latitude. He knows he is out of order and he knows the reason.
If the Deputy submits to the ruling he should resume his seat. The Chair has called Question No. 1. Will the Minister—
There is no point of order while the Chair is on its feet. The Chair has called Question No. 1. We are now on Question No. 1.
There is no point of order. You are not entitled to a point of order when there is disorder. There is disorder and the House will have to return to order.
The Deputy is not helpful. The Chair has not given him the floor. I have said before that individual Deputies cannot usurp the decisions made by their fellow Members. That is what is being attempted h...
That is not a point of order and it cannot be raised.
The Deputy knows he is out of order. If the Deputies do not resume their seats I will suspend the sitting.
The Deputies are persisting. They know they are out of order.
I call Question No. 1.
Priority Questions. - EU Sheepmeat Regime.
Question No. 2.
That is not the Chair's choice.
The Minister has the floor. Has the Minister completed his reply?
We are dealing with Priority Questions. The only Deputy entitled to ask the Minister a question is Deputy Penrose.
The Deputy has to understand that this is Question Time. He must put a question to the Minister.
Priority Questions. - Control of Veterinary Products.
We must move on to Question No. 4.
Priority Questions. - Commonage Division.
A question for the Minister.
The Chair must remind the Deputy that this is Question Time.
Is that a question?
Other Questions. - European Beef Markets.
Order, please.
The Minister of State without interruption.
Private Notice Questions. - Medical Card Cover.
I will call on the Deputies who tabled questions to the Minister for Health and Children in the order in which they submitted their questions to my office.
