The Deputy knows supplementary questions must be——
The questions he raised about the numbers of staff in the Ministers of State’s offices should be submitted separately. They are not included in this question.
I allowed the Deputy to put that question even though it is outside the scope of these four questions, but then he moved on to advertising——

That matter does not arise under these questions.

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31.
Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 31.
It would not be a matter for the Chair. It is a matter for the House under Standing Orders.

The Chair’s ruling is in accordance with precedence and if the Deputy requests an opportunity——
If the Deputy will listen——
We will not discuss this on the floor of the House.

There is one proposal to put to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with No. 10, motion re referral to joint committee of proposed approval by Dáil Éireann on the European evidence warrant, agreed?

I call the Taoiseach to answer on the legislation.
We move on to No. 10, motion re referral to joint committee of proposed approval by Dáil Éireann for a Council framework decision on the European evidence warrant for obtaining objects, documents and ...
Very well.
