Ceisteanna — Questions - Programmes for Government
Sorry, Deputy, it has nothing to do with the programme for Government.
No. We are dealing with that matter later.
It is nothing to do with the programme for Government.
That is to be dealt with by way of private notice question after the——
Ceisteanna — Questions - EU Summits
Does the Deputy have a question?
I will allow two short supplementary questions. Later this afternoon the House will debate upcoming European Council meetings. I want to be fair to Deputies who have tabled parliamentary questions. ...
You do not have to comment, Deputy.
I remind Deputies that this is Question Time.
Have you a question, Deputy?
Deputy, I said I would allow a short supplementary question.
Regardless of what was said in The Irish Times, will the Deputy ask a question?
We move on to Question No. 6.
We have given this question some time and there is a debate coming up. To be fair, Deputy Adams has a question.
Will the Deputy please respect the Chair? This is Question Time. I call the Taoiseach on Question No. 6.
Ceisteanna — Questions - Programmes for Government
We are almost finished. I will allow Deputy Adams one quick remark.
Adjournment Debate Matters
I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 21 and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Seán Conlan — the decision to ...
Leaders’ Questions
I remind Members that we have seven minutes per question broken down as follows: two minutes for the Members asking questions, three minutes for the reply and one minute each for a supplementary quest...
Thank you, Deputy.
The Deputy has gone over his time. The Taoiseach to reply.
Through the Chair, please.
Deputy Adams, please.
Request to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32
Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a request under Standing Order 32 from Deputy Ellis.
Having considered the matter raised it is not in order under Standing Order 32. The Deputy should find another way to raise it.
Order of Business
Is the proposal for dealing with No. 4 agreed to? Agreed. Does Deputy Adams have a point to raise?
The Deputy is out of order at this point but I will allow him to come back in later. I call Deputy Martin on the Order of Business.
Deputy Martin should be allowed to continue without interruption.
The Taoiseach has suggested that the Whips discuss and come to an agreement on the Deputy’s request.
The Deputy jumped to his feet a little early. I was obliged to call on Deputy Martin as the leader of the largest Opposition party to begin questions on the Order of Business.
I try to be fair to everybody.
Before calling Deputy Joe Higgins I remind him that he has a private notice question on this issue which will be taken after the Order of Business.
I do not want the Deputy to have two bites of the cherry.
Will Deputy Martin take his seat?
Private notice questions are coming up and the Deputy has tabled one and can deal with the issue then.
I call Deputy Tóibín on a different matter.
It is not a point of order, I have called Deputy Tóibín.
This better be a point of order.
That is not a point of order. Will the Deputy please take his seat?
As someone who spent years in Government, I ask Deputy Martin to respect the Chair.
Could the Taoiseach please move on to the other issue?
We have moved on to Deputy Tóibín’s question.
Before I call anyone else on the Order of Business, I wish to make one thing clear: this is not a free for all question time. The Order of Business is about the taking of business that has been promi...
I ask Deputy Boyd Barrett to remain within the rules.
Private Notice Questions - Moriarty Tribunal Report
I will call on the Deputies who tabled questions to the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources in the order in which they submitted their questions to my office.
I ask the Deputy to allow the Minister to reply.
Is there a question?
Thank you.
I am sorry to interrupt the Deputy——
That completes the private notice questions. Everybody who tabled a question has had a fair run.
We are moving on.
