(Dublin West): On a point of order, will the Ceann Comhairle explain why the Taoiseach is not in the House for Question Time?

The Taoiseach's questions have been withdrawn.

(Dublin West): My copy of the Order Paper indicates that the Taoiseach will be taking questions today.

It is quite in order for the Taoiseach's questions to be withdrawn.

(Dublin West): Busy Deputies should be informed of these matters. I wanted to raise with the Taoiseach the issue of why two building workers were sent to Mountjoy for fighting the black economy on construction sites.

I have explained the situation to the Deputy and he should resume his seat.

(Dublin West): It is an outrage that two construction workers are being sent to jail for fighting the black economy and I wish the Taoiseach was in the House to answer for that.

The Deputy should resume his seat or leave the House. He should seek to raise the matter in another way.

(Dublin West): Will the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation address the matter?

I have called question No. 10. Will the Deputy resume his seat?

(Dublin West): This is an urgent matter.

The Deputy cannot ask questions about the matter now; he should seek to ask them in an orderly manner on another occasion. He is being disorderly and should resume his seat.
