It is proposed to take No. 12, motion re proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Freedom of Information Act 2014 (Effective Date for Certain Bodies) Order 2015 (back from committee); and No. 13, motion re proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Freedom of Information Act 2014 (Exempted Public Bodies) Order 2015 (back from committee). It is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that: Nos. 12 and 13 shall be debated together and shall, if not previously concluded be brought to a conclusion after 25 minutes and the following arrangements shall apply: the speech of a Minister or Minister of State and of the main spokespersons for Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin and the Technical Group, who shall be called upon in that order, shall not exceed five minutes in each case and such Members may share their time; and a Minister or Minister of State shall be called upon to make a speech in reply which shall not exceed five minutes; and the Dáil on its rising today shall adjourn until Wednesday, 15 April 2015 at 2.30 p.m.

There are two proposals to be put to the House today. Is the proposal for dealing with Nos. 12 and 13 agreed?

It is not agreed. These matters, which were presented by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Howlin, came before a committee yesterday. One is of particular concern and relates to the refugee applications commissioner and the Refugee Appeals Tribunal. This matter requires further discussion, consideration and debate. I do not think it should be rushed through in this manner. The Minister is bringing forward the proposal at the behest of the Minister for Justice and Equality and it is a very negative development. I object to the proposal and the manner of its handling.

The debate is due to commence immediately after the Order of Business.

I will have five minutes.

The Deputy will have an opportunity to debate it with the Minister.

Is the proposal that the Dáil on its rising today shall adjourn until Wednesday, 15 April 2015 at 2.30 p.m. agreed? Agreed.
