Promised legislation and parliamentary schedule

Summary

Micheál Martin criticises the limited sitting schedule and questions the Government’s legislative timetable; the Ceann Comhairle asks him to focus on promised legislation.

The Dáil sat for only five days in September and is due to sit for ten days in October. On yesterday's Order of Business, the Taoiseach listed a raft of legislation that is required. Maybe he was contemplating a run to the country in November, and hence the diary might have been cleared.

Somebody on the Deputy's side might have been contemplating it.

A large number of Deputies want to speak. Would you please put your point on promised legislation?
