On a point of order, I signalled earlier that I wanted to speak on the Order of Business. What is the exact Standing Order that governs the Order of Business on a Thursday? It is unacceptable that a Deputy who is seeking to raise an issue can sit here for an hour without being given floor time.

Twenty minutes are made available for the Order of Business on Thursdays. A vote is obviously taken out of the 20 minutes. As this morning's time was taken up by the vote and other business, there was no time for questions on the Order of Business.

The Leas-Cheann Comhairle might give me some advice. I have listened to representatives of the Government talking about the Dáil holding the Executive to account. Is there any way the Government might dedicate a tree out in the back lawn to which we might talk if we have an issue? How can someone raise an issue in this House?

This problem has been raised on a number of occasions. It has been suggested that the Whips might meet to discuss it. If the Deputy is asking for it to be considered, I can certainly make that request known to the Ceann Comhairle.
