There are five proposals to put to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with the late sitting agreed to? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with Nos. 20a and 20b, without debate, agreed to? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with No. 38 agreed to? Agreed. Is the proposal that there will be no Topical Issues tomorrow agreed to?

We think there should be Topical Issues tomorrow. It is a normal sitting day and we do not see any good reason to deny Deputies the opportunity to raise urgent matters of the day as normal.

I object to the proposal that there will be no Topical Issues tomorrow. It seems to me that the reason it is proposed that there will be no Topical Issues tomorrow is to lash through the Water Services Bill over Thursday and Friday with no vote until Tuesday to allow the Government side to be away from the debate on Friday down the country or whatever and not take part in it just like it did with the first round of the Water Services Bill. It is extremely important that there would be Topical Issues tomorrow. For example, the key Topical Issue yesterday was homelessness and no doubt, there will be other ones tomorrow. There should be a resumption of Topical Issues and the Government should stop lashing through the Water Services Bill. If it needs to be extended next week, it should be extended.

It is absolutely hypocritical of the deputy leader of Sinn Féin to come in here and demand time for Topical Issues when it is proposed to debate an issue that is so important to everybody, namely, the Water Services Bill, given that she came in here a couple of weeks ago, held up this place for five hours and did not allow Topical Issues to be taken at all. We are allowing the House to sit until 8 p.m. tomorrow and 8 p.m. on Friday to give everybody an opportunity to have their say on Second Stage of the Water Services Bill. Members have been demanding this and they will get the time they need. For Deputy McDonald to come in here and say that we should have Topical Issues tomorrow when she sat over there for five hours, held up the work of this House and did not allow Topical Issues to take place at all means that she is either suffering from amnesia or is very selective in the points she makes.

Is the proposal for dealing with No. 9a agreed to? Agreed.
