Timing of summer recess
Deputy Micheál Martin asks whether the Business Committee has fixed a summer recess date; the issue is referred to the committee before the session moves on.
Out of mischief I ask if, perhaps, the Tánaiste could confirm that calm has broken out on the western front. If not, I ask mischievously, given that Friday's activity is Government business and things are getting hectic in the last two weeks, if the Business Committee has come to any conclusion as to when the summer recess is to come upon us. It may be an important catalyst to bring calm among all concerned. In particular, it could be very important in terms of bringing calm to the trenches.
