As for the arrangements for the sitting, will the Taoiseach come to the Dáil to announce when he is going to the President?

We cannot really deal with that on the Order of Business.

A bit of transparency would not go astray here. It is like the third secret of Fatima.

We have approved the Order of Business already.

Joe has his innocent face on at the moment.

The Taoiseach said something I did not hear. Is it that he will deal with the Order of Business tomorrow?

The Order of Business for tomorrow is approved already. The Dáil will sit at 9.30 in the morning.

That is it. Please proceed.

This is Deputy Higgins’s last chance.

On his way to the Park, in case the Taoiseach meets an anti-water charges protest, can I suggest he takes his AK-47 for protection?

Sorry, I think the Deputy is stepping over the mark a bit now.

Judging by what he had to say in the Sunday Independent, he has so much energy he could do with a run around the Park before he is unleashed on the unfortunate people of Tipperary. However, the Taoiseach would want to be careful because, as a self-confessed addict, the Minister might try to stage a coup on the way to meet the President.

Deputy Higgins has not lost any of the wit or barbs.

The Taoiseach should seriously tell us what time he intends to dissolve the Dáil because there are activists all over the country waiting to start their activities, put up the posters, etc.

This is not on my list of items which can be raised on the Order of Business. I am sorry we will have to move on. I call Deputy Harrington.
