Order of Business

Summary

The Chair opened questions on promised legislation and dealt with a procedural dispute over taking names for the list. Members queried the practice of indicating, but no substantive policy issue was raised yet.

We move on now to questions on promised legislation. I have taken a list of names so there is no ambiguity. I will call Deputies MacSharry, Cassells, Nolan, O'Loughlin, Brady, Michael Healy-Rae, Danny Healy-Rae, Martin Kenny, Munster, McLoughlin, Pearse Doherty, Durkan and Eugene Murphy.

When did you take the list, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle?

I took it according as Members indicated after I came into the Chamber. Is Deputy Smith indicating now?

I did not know I could indicate earlier. Is that a new practice?

No, it is a long-standing practice. When I was here many years ago it was the same.
