The Order of Business under this Government could be described at the very best as an oxymoron, because on a fairly regular basis we have looked at our screens to find that the Dáil has suspended after running out of business.

The Deputy was not here.

The Deputy knows how it works around here. He has been around here a long time.

The noise pollution Act is coming.

The Deputy was not here either.

I was here.

Please. Deputy Kelleher has the floor.

Despite the fact that the Government consistently takes credit for extra sitting days, many of the days are quite unproductive because we simply do not have business before the House. Could we have a commitment from the Tánaiste that in future the ordering of business will be done in such a way as to run seamlessly from one item to another, as opposed to having adjournments and suspensions?

Nobody from the Opposition turned up this morning.

I remind the Deputy that he is the deputy Whip.

We have the Bills. Does the Opposition want them?

Not one person turned up.

The Deputy will have to have a chat with his deputy Whip because he seems to be incapable of organising the business of the House.

On the picket lines.
