Anyway, let us go back. Is the proposal for dealing with Wednesday's business agreed to?

Agreed.

Agreed. Is proposal No. 3 for dealing with Thursday's business agreed to? Agreed.

Just-----

Is the proposal-----

I want to speak on Thursday's business.

We have agreed it.

No, Sir. I said, "No."

Deputy Howlin said, "No." Sorry, go ahead.

Deputy Howlin did not say, "No."

I know we are in a rush but we are not in that much.

You did not say, "No."

The bottom line is we need to know. Maybe Deputy Micheál Martin has sight of the proposals. I do not know.

Deputy Michael McGrath has had the sight of nothing and we signed up to nothing.

Okay, that is fine.

That is misleading.

If the Deputies are going to have a conversation-----

It is not.

-----have it outside. Can we just deal with the business before us?

I recall Deputy Howlin remonstrated with me about the failure of the Business Committee's decisions.

Please, Deputy Martin.

I am simply seeking clarity. I do not know how well briefed Deputy Micheál Martin is but I have not been briefed at all in relation to an announcement made publicly at 1.15 p.m., when Leaders' Questions were at 2 o'clock, on what we regard as one of the most fundamental issues facing us, which is housing, in particular, the rental sector. We are now told it will be dealt with by way of amendment to a Bill that has already passed Second Stage, we have not seen the amendments and we do not understand the substance. That is just not acceptable. Before we agree to Thursday's business which includes voting on a housing Bill in the name of the Labour Party, can we have some explanation of what exactly is proposed in relation to the Government's strategy to deal with rents?

The committee is under way this evening for a considerable period.

Sorry, I cannot-----

The Members cannot hear the Taoiseach.

The Committee Stage is under way this evening. There are 140 amendments down to that, as I understand it. Obviously, any other amendments will be tabled on Report Stage and the Members will see those as quickly as possible, where that is necessary.

The complexities of what was put on offer today-----

It is important-----

-----will mean a bigger Bill presented by way of amendment than the current Bill before the House and we have not sight of it.

The Minister has had extensive engagement with all the parties about this strategy.

Not true.

We indicated on many occasions that it would be coming in towards the end of the year and, obviously, needs the support of Members of the House in order to be legislated. It is important that it move through.

Is the proposal for dealing with Thursday's business agreed to? Agreed.

Finally, is the proposal for dealing with the Friday sitting and business to be taken then agreed to? Agreed.
