Order of Business
The Taoiseach proposes the day’s business and an uncontested committee-motion procedure; Deputies exchange brief remarks before the proposal is agreed.
It is proposed to take No. 9, motion re membership of committee, and No. 2, Forestry Bill 2013 - Order for Second Stage and Second Stage. It is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that No. 9 shall be decided without debate. Private Members' business shall be No. 111, motion re discretionary medical cards.

There is one proposal to put to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with No. 9, motion re membership of committee, without debate, agreed to?

I will agree to that on the basis that I understand it is not throwing yet another rebel off some committee. Apparently, it is a straightforward transfer.

The Deputy threw a fair few of them off himself.

Poor old Mattie. The Deputy wants him back.
