It is proposed to take Nos. 8, 7, 10, 11, 9 (resumed), 12 (resumed), 13, 14, 16, 6, 4 and 5. By agreement, it is proposed that the House will sit today until 10.30 p.m. and tomorrow from 10.30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Next week the House will sit on Tuesday until 10.30 p.m. and on Wednesday until 4.30 p.m. when it will rise for the summer recess. There will be no Questions on next Wednesday nor will there be any sos on that day. There will be no interruption for Private Members' Business Next Tuesday. Also, by agreement, it is proposed that the proceedings on all the stages on all the items included in the Order of Business that I have just given, if not previously concluded, will be brought to a conclusion at 10.30 p.m. on Tuesday next and that the debate on the adjournment for the recess be brought to a conclusion at 4.30 p.m. next Wednesday. Any divisions demanded on Estimates this week or next will be taken forthwith, that is, as they arise.

Are all these arrangements agreed?

Yes. I am glad that ample time has now been allowed for the business before the House which, as originally contemplated, was not proposed to be allowed. Has the Taoiseach given any thought yet to the date of resumption and can he give us that date?

I have given some thought to it but I have not yet made up my mind.

The Taoiseach will be able to give us that information before the Dáil adjourns?

Yes.

The sooner the better.
