Order of Business.

John Lynch The Taoiseach Fianna Fáil

It is proposed to take business in the following order: Nos. 1, 6, 9, 2, 10 (Resumed), 11 (Resumed), 12 and 3. By agreement the House will sit until 10.30 p.m. Notwithstanding anything contained in Standing Orders a motion to sit later than that can be made at any time up to 10.30 p.m.

Which Estimates are being taken in Vote No. 12? I wish to clarify the last statement. Of course, a motion can be put to sit later than 10.30 p.m. but there is no agreement that such a motion will be taken at 10.30 p.m.

The Estimates in No. 12 will be taken in the order in which they appear. As far as the point made by Deputy FitzGerald is concerned, certainly the motion may be put.
