Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.
Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 32. I will call on Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices to my office.
Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 32.
Order of Business.
There are three proposals to be put to the House. Is the proposal that the Dáil shall sit later than 4.45 p.m. agreed?
Allow the Tánaiste to have the floor.
I ask Deputies to restrain themselves, please.
The Tánaiste without interruption, please.
Is the proposal for the late sitting agreed? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with No. 16 agreed?
Is the proposal for dealing with No. 3, Foreshore and Dumping at Sea (Amendment) Bill 2009, agreed to?
We are really getting into detail on it.
We are really getting into detail.
It would be fine on Second Stage.
The Tánaiste without interruption.
We are not having Leaders’ Questions on Thursday and the Deputy should be cognisant of that.
We do not have any Leaders’ Questions on a Thursday morning.
I call the Tánaiste to reply briefly because we have spent enough time on this.
The Tánaiste without interruption, please.
This is not Leaders’ Questions.
Please, Deputies.
Deputy Kenny has had a very good innings.
It strikes me that this is a question that should be directed to the Minister for Finance.
The Deputy is anticipating the budget.
That is a question for the budget.
Have we a question about promised legislation?
We are going to have to move on, Deputy.
The Deputy has had an answer to his question as regards secondary legislation and we are going to have to move on.
We have an answer to this question and we shall move on to Deputy Bernard Durkan.
Are we talking about the same legislation?
Is it similar legislation to that raised in Deputy Gilmore’s question?
Deputy Durkan, the Tánaiste indicated in her reply to the previous question that she was going to revert to the Deputy concerned. I am sure the same information could be furnished to your good self.
The Deputy will have to find an alternative way to raise this matter.
I do not disagree, but there is the Adjournment or Question Time. There are many different ways in which the Deputy can raise this matter.
Is the Deputy referring to promised legislation in this area?
If there is promised legislation we are now into the detail of it, which is not acceptable on the Order of Business.
We are into detail at this point, Deputy.
Deputy, this is the Order of Business and we are abusing it.
The Deputy has gone into the detail of promised legislation. Is legislation promised in this area?
Deputy Burton, please.
Deputy Burton, please.
I call Deputy Costello.
Deputy Burton, please. I call Deputy Costello.
I call Deputy Costello.
I ask Deputy Burton to resume her seat.
Is legislation promised in this area?
The Deputy should refer to the legislation promised.
A parliamentary question, rather than the Order of Business, would be an ideal vehicle in which to get this information.
I accept that. Avenues are available such as Question Time and Adjournment debates.
The Deputy should table a parliamentary question on this issue.
The Deputy should submit a parliamentary question on the matter for next week.
We will move on. I call Deputy Crawford. Deputy Costello should table a parliamentary question.
We are anticipating the budget debate next week.
Yes, we are anticipating it.
If the Deputy leaves it, we will have a response on promised legislation in this area.
The Tánaiste, briefly.
Deputy, this has nothing to do with promised legislation.
It has nothing to do with it. I suggest the Deputy should table a parliamentary question next week.
The Deputy should submit a parliamentary question on the matter.
This matter should be dealt with by way of parliamentary question. I call Deputy Terence Flanagan.
Deputy Flanagan should table a parliamentary question to get this information.
I ask the Deputy to submit a parliamentary question on the matter.
The Deputy should not raise this issue on the Order of Business. He should submit a parliamentary question on the matter.
A well crafted parliamentary question would secure the information for the Deputy.
Deputy, please.
We have dealt with this at length. Is there a further qualification?
There is no further qualification.
I call Deputy Sheahan.
I ask Deputies to allow Deputy Sheahan to ask his question.
This is a matter for a parliamentary question or for the Adjournment.
There is no promised legislation in this area.
The Deputy should table a parliamentary question.
There are many other ways of getting this information.
I suspect that what the Deputy seeks can be acquired through a parliamentary question——
——or on the Adjournment.
Will be Tánaiste do him a favour?
We will move on.
Deputy Kenny, please.
Deputy Kenny, please.
