Private Members’ Bill scheduling

Summary

The Chair discusses arranging introduction of Pearse Doherty’s Private Members’ Bill while he attends the banking inquiry, and Mac Lochlainn confirms that the Deputy must introduce it personally.

That completes matters on the Order of Business. There is a Private Members' Bill listed from Deputy Pearse Doherty. Unfortunately, the Deputy was late in trying to introduce it the other day. I understand perfectly that it arises from his attendance at the banking inquiry. I am conscious that it is coming up so perhaps he can let the office know when he is available. We would be only too pleased to facilitate him.

He was to be here at 1 p.m. I do not know what has happened.

Yes. He might let us know when will suit. I understand he cannot leave the banking inquiry.
