Leaders’ Questions.
Deputy Kenny, without interruption.
Deputy Kenny, without interruption.
Before I call on Deputy Gilmore I do not need to remind Deputy Kenny that he cannot refer to the Tánaiste as the first mate. Iarraim ar ceannaire Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre, an Teachta Gilmore.
I appreciate that.
Let the Taoiseach have his say without interruption.
Ceisteanna — Questions - Northern Ireland Issues.
I do not know if that is relevant to the North.
We cannot have speeches now. We must confine ourselves to questions.
We cannot have Opposition Deputies asking each other questions.
Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.
Anois iarratais chun tairiscint a dhéanamh an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan-Ordú 32. I now move to requests to move the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32.
Tar éis iniúchadh a dhéanamh ar na nithe ardaithe, níl siad in ord faoi Bhuan Ordú 32. Having given the matters full consideration, I do not consider them to be in order under Standing Order 32.
Order of Business.
There is one proposal to put to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with No. 5a agreed? Agreed.
The Taoiseach must confine himself to answering the questions relating to the two items of legislation.
We cannot discuss e-mails on the Order of Business.
Deputy Gilmore is well aware that this matter is not in order. The only question that is in order is that relating to whether there will be a debate on the various reports.
We are not dealing with it in any event.
Deputy Gilmore’s question on whether a debate will take place on the reports was only barely in order.
To what other matters is the Deputy referring?
Deputy Durkan must indicate the legislation to which he is referring.
It is fair enough to ask which Bill is being taken but not which is appropriate.
We cannot answer that. That is for Question Time. Will the Deputy please specify the Bills so we can move on?
That is not in order.
There is no need for a preamble.
We would all like to join in that but we cannot do it now.
The Deputy may ask about the referendum Bill but not about the date for the referendum.
What is the name of the second Bill?
The Deputy cannot raise that matter; he must ask about the legislation.
Does the Deputy have a question on legislation?
Will the Taoiseach respond on promised legislation?
It is bad enough to have preambles and epilogues but we cannot have anecdotes as well.
We must move along.
Finance Bill 2008: Report Stage (Resumed).
I call the Tánaiste to reply.
He is the Tánaiste.
Is the amendment being pressed?
Sure.
I understood Deputy Bruton was making another intervention and intended to wrap up later. That is why I asked him at the outset whether he was pressing the amendment. He tells me he has wrapped up t...
Amendments Nos. 5 and 6 are related and will be discussed together.
Adjournment Debate - Search and Rescue Service.
I call on the Minister of State to respond and she has five minutes. I know there is considerable detail in the response because the Deputy sought details. The statistical information can be handed ...
For the purposes of the Deputy’s submission and for the purposes of the record, it is possible to put the statistical information on the record. That is what I am saying if that is helpful to the Dep...
