It is proposed to take No. 14, motion re referral to select committee of proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of Ireland's accession to the memorandum of understanding concerning the principles for the establishment and operation of a battle group; No. 15, motion re referral to select sub-committee of proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of taxation agreements; No. 16, motion re referral to joint committee of proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Health and Social Care Professionals Act 2005 (Section 4(7)) (Membership of Council) Regulations 2015; No. 6, Marriage Bill 2015 - Second Stage (resumed); No. 48, Public Transport Bill 2015 - Second Stage (resumed); and No. 1, Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2015 [Seanad] - Second Stage.

It is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that Nos. 14, 15 and 16 shall be decided without debate; and for the purposes of the fortnightly Friday sitting under Standing Order 21(1) on 9 October 2015, the deadline for the submission of Bills to be included in the lottery shall be Friday, 25 September 2015 at 11 a.m., and related Standing Orders shall apply accordingly. Private Members' business shall be No. 208, motion re health service funding (resumed), to conclude at 9 p.m. if not previously concluded.

Tomorrow's business after Oral Questions shall be No. 6, Marriage Bill 2015 - Second Stage (resumed); No. 48, Public Transport Bill 2015 - Second Stage (resumed); and No. 1 - Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2015 [Seanad] - Second Stage.

There are two proposals to put to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with Nos. 14, 15 and 16 without debate agreed to?

That is not agreed. No. 14, which deals with the referral to select committee of a proposal for Ireland to participate in the establishment of a battle group, is an odious motion. It is a huge move or development in terms of our international relations. As such, this Chamber should first debate the matter before it goes to committee. If committee adopts it, it should come back here and be debated once again. It is a substantial change in the supposed neutrality of the State.

We are not in a position to accede to the Deputy's request. It is appropriate that the committee should have an opportunity to tease the matter out before it comes back to the House.

Is the proposal for dealing with the fortnightly Friday sitting on 9 October 2015 agreed to? Agreed. I call Deputy Micheál Martin on the Order of Business.
