As both Bills listed for today have already been brought to a conclusion, it is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that: (1) the sitting shall be suspended immediately after the Order of Business until 2 p.m. at which time Topical Issues shall be taken; and (2) the next fortnightly Friday sitting for the purposes of Standing Orders 21(1)(a) and 28(3) shall be on 6 March 2015 and that any item already drawn for fortnightly Friday business on 20 February and 6 March shall be taken on 6 March and 27 March, respectively.

I have two proposals to put to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with the suspension of sitting agreed to? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with the sitting and business of the Dáil on 6 March agreed to? Agreed.

I ask the Minister for clarification of that proposal.

I am sorry, but this is a mtter for party leaders. We will proceed to the Order of Business proper.

Will the Minister confirm that the business scheduled for 6 March will now be taken on 27 March?

That is correct.

It will be taken on 20 March.
