Business of Dáil.
I move:
That notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders or the order of the Dáil of this day, the proceedings in respect of No. 20 shall be taken at 6.35 p.m. and shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion at 7 p.m. and the following arrangements shall apply: (i) the speeches shall be confined to a Minister or Minister of State and the main spokespersons for Fine Gael, the Labour Party and Sinn Féin, who shall be called upon in that order and who may share their time, which shall not exceed five minutes in each case; and (ii) a Minister or Minister of State shall be called upon to make a speech in reply which shall not exceed five minutes.

Deputy Charles Flanagan was becoming concerned. I must admit that I was similarly concerned when I heard the word "dissolution".
