The Chair would appreciate prior notice, if Deputies have such proposals. Prior notice in this instance would have been helpful.

I apologise for being late in bringing forward this request.

It is not a matter for the Chair at this stage.

In response to Deputy Bruton's proposal, I indicate my agreement with the proposal if that is of help in reaching a decision as to how to proceed.

I will ask the Taoiseach to comment on this.

Yes, that is okay. I will omit the first part of my reply, although it will probably be included in the Official Report.

It is proposed that Questions Nos. 2, 3, 7, 8, 10 and 11 and will be postponed by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.
