There are four proposals to put to the House. Is the proposal for the late sitting agreed? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with No. 13 agreed? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with No. 1 agreed? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with No. 14 agreed?

Are we agreeing tomorrow's Order of Business?

That is because of the business before the Order of Business tomorrow.

So the Industrial Development (Forfás Dissolution) Bill is the morning's business?

After the motion re freedom of information.

Replacing the debate on the Health Service Executive.

Yes.

So we are deciding that now?

Yes.

We wish to oppose the taking of that business. According to the Order of Business, the following business shall be taken tomorrow-----

No. The question is whether the proposal for dealing with No. 14, motion re freedom of information, be taken tomorrow is agreed to. We are discussing the arrangements.

The arrangement is to have the debate tomorrow.

Yes, but the motion states, "...freedom of Information shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion after 25 minutes", etc.

If I might help the Deputy-----

Tomorrow, we will start with Question Time at 9.30 a.m. The Order of Business will not be until later in the day. Between the end of Question Time and the Order of Business tomorrow, there will be a filler of business. For this reason, we must order it today. That is what we are doing now.

It is also that a motion takes precedence over statements. That is why it has to be put that way.

Is that all right?

Fianna Fáil, the Deputy's party, had a motion in on health. We had the statements on health issued for tomorrow. So, its motion takes precedence over the statements and that is why it has to be done this way.

With respect, when the Whips met last week, we discussed the business for the week, which was to include statements on the HSE service plan. However, when Fianna Fáil subsequently tabled a Private Members' motion, as was our right, on health, the Government moved to remove the statements from the Order Paper that had been agreed. This is the point that Deputy Kelleher is making. It has now been replaced by the Industrial Development (Forfás Dissolution) Bill. That is certainly not in keeping with the discussion that we had at the Whips' meeting.

I am sorry, but we are discussing the taking of the motion re freedom of information after parliamentary questions at 9.30 a.m.

Yes, but we are also discussing-----

The Order of Business will be taken in the normal way tomorrow after that. This is only to give notice that this is the business after Question Time tomorrow, as there would otherwise be no Order of Business to order anything.

When the Whips' meeting took place last Wednesday, it was agreed that Fianna Fáil would have the HSE statements tomorrow. The Deputy's party is entitled to, and did, submit a Private Members' motion on Friday that was also on a health issue.

Yes.

The health Private Members' motion takes precedence over the statements. That is why it was moved. No other reason.

We will need to debate this and call a division at some stage, be it today or tomorrow.

We will not debate it now. This is purely for arrangement purposes. If the Deputy does not agree to it, I must put the question.

Rather than divide the House-----

I am sorry, but the Deputy is not entitled to debate this. Only parties that have an objection to the taking of something may.

I have an objection to the taking of the Industrial Development (Forfás Dissolution) Bill.

That will be tomorrow's Order of Business.

The question is on the proposal for dealing with the motion re freedom of information. It is not about the industrial Bill.

No motion will move the industrial Bill this evening.

No. I am putting to the House the question on whether the proposal for dealing with the motion re freedom of information is agreed.

That is fine. We have no problem with that.

This is because it will be taken after Question Time. Is the proposal for dealing with No. 14 agreed to? Agreed.

White smoke.
