Tomorrow’s Dáil business

Summary

Deputy McDonald objects to deciding the next day’s business in advance, particularly property-tax legislation, but the Leas-Cheann Comhairle explains this is required for the sitting and the proposal is agreed.

Is the proposal for the sitting and business of the Dáil tomorrow agreed to?

Comment on this

It is not agreed. However, I am not going to call a vote on it so Deputies can relax. I want to make the point-----

Can we have order, please?

Comment on this

I believe it would be better to order tomorrow's business tomorrow. We will have legislation coming forward in respect of the property tax, a tax on the family home, and as with the social welfare legislation we should not rush that through the House.
