Arrangements for tomorrow’s sitting
Joe Higgins asks when the Dáil will sit and what business is planned for the following day. The Taoiseach and Ceann Comhairle confirm a 9.30 a.m. sitting, with Foreign Affairs questions.
Go raibh míle maith agat, a Cheann Comhairle. As it happens, I have two or three brief issues which I wish to raise. With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I will raise them one by one.

First, specifically under Standing Order No. 26(3) relating to the business of the Dáil, we are enabled to ask the Taoiseach questions about business, the Order Paper and about arrangements for sittings. What is the arrangement for the sitting of the Dáil tomorrow? It is intended that it will sit at 9:30 a.m.? For how long does he intend it to sit tomorrow? Does he intend to come to the Dáil to say he is going to President to seek its dissolution? In that case, what time might that be? What will the arrangements, thereafter, be for the sitting?

A Cheann Comhairle, you could give him the grace.

I am very much within order. That is why I brought the Standing Orders with me.
