There are eight proposals to be put to the House. Is the proposal that the Dáil sit later than 5.45 p.m. agreed? Agreed.

Is the proposal for dealing with No. 13b, motion re statement of Estimates for the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission; No. 14, motion re proposed approval by Dáil Éireann for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the fight against fraud to the Union’s financial interests by means of criminal law - general approach, back from committee; No. 15, motion re proposed approval by Dáil Éireann for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation and Training, Europol, and repealing Decisions 2009/371/JHA and 2005/681/JHA, back from committee; No. a15a, motion re: ministerial rota for parliamentary questions; No. 15c, motion re membership of committees; and No. 15b motion re proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Non-Use of Motor Vehicles (Section 3) Regulations 2013, without debate and that any division demanded on No 13b shall be taken forthwith agreed?

Not agreed. I refer to No. 15, motion re proposed approval by Dáil Éireann for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation and Training, Europol, and repealing Decisions 2009/371/JHA and 2005/681/JHA. This proposal deserves debate here. The joint supervisory body of Europol in a published opinion on this decision characterised it as a clearly retrograde step in respect of data protection issues. It is clearly a sensitive issue. We have debated these issues in the Chamber before. I do not believe it should go through on the nod and should be afforded time to be discussed.

It was debated at the committee.

This was referred to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality and was debated, I believe, yesterday. What we have is what has come back from the committee. It has already been considered and discussed in the committee and to my knowledge no division was called at the committee.

A member gets kicked off a committee for calling a vote.

Is the proposal for dealing with No. 15a, motion re proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the despatch of a contingent of the Permanent Defence Force for service with the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) in Syria agreed? Agreed.

Is the proposal for dealing with No. 23, Committee and Remaining Stages of the Electoral, Local Government and Planning and Development Bill 2013 agreed? Agreed.

Is the proposal for dealing with No. a1, Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013, amendment from the Seanad agreed?

It is not agreed. This is a Bill that would make it easier to repossess the family home - effectively an eviction Bill - that plays into the hands of the banks. I suppose it is consistent with Government policy that leaves control in the hands of the bankers on the resolution of people's personal indebtedness

Deputy Dooley knows all about bankers.

Is Deputy McNamara on the right side today or on the wrong side? Does he know what buttons he is pressing?

Any day I am on a different side from Deputy Dooley.

Perhaps we can get back to dealing with the issue.

The Deputy is back in the pack anyway - he is back in tune with Deputy Stagg.

One more sheep back in the pen.

The bottom line is that we disagree with the way in which it is being rushed through the House and guillotined. We disagree in principle with the Bill.

There is one amendment from the Seanad.

The Tánaiste is all heart.

I believe an hour is plenty of time to debate that amendment. Is there no end to the hard neck of Fianna Fáil?

The Tánaiste is tied to his friends.

First the Deputy gets up and talks about jobs after his party losing 250,000.

The Government is going to evict people from their homes for the banks. Deputy Eamon Gilmore, the bankers' friend.

Now he has the effrontery to get up and talk about banks after what his party did with the blanket bailout and took the-----

The Government took the banker's shilling.

This is about enabling people to get out-----

It is taking the shilling and-----

There is no end to the hard neck and effrontery of Fianna Fáil.

It is evicting people out of their homes.

A period of repentant silence from Fianna Fáil is long overdue.

Did it get the 10%?

Is the proposal for dealing with No. 24, Order for Report, Report and Final Stages of the Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2012, agreed? Agreed.

Is the proposal for dealing with No. 25, statements on the report of the Constitutional Convention, agreed? Agreed.

I finally come to one in which people will be very interested. Is the proposal that the Dáil on its rising today shall adjourn until 2.30 p.m. on Wednesday, 18 September 2013 agreed? Agreed.

I call Deputy Dooley on the Order of Business.

Give Deputy Dooley an opportunity to make his point.
