I thank Deputy Daly. There are three proposals to put to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with today's business agreed to?

No. I understand that the Business Committee has agreed to discuss scheduling a debate on the Catalan referendum at Thursday's meeting, with the debate to be held next week. That is too late. The referendum took place on Sunday. There were quite unprecedented scenes of police repression, attempts to shut down a referendum which was taking place, the stealing of ballot boxes and so on. Up to 1,000 people were injured. This was ordered by the Rajoy government. A general strike is taking place today in protest against those measures. We should have a debate this week. It does not have to be today. It can be tomorrow morning or Thursday morning. The Government should have the opportunity to clearly condemn the violence that took place, which was ordered by the sister party of Fine Gael in Spain.

A Topical Issue on that matter has been selected for later.

I do not believe that is sufficient.

Is the proposal for dealing with Wednesday's business agreed to? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with Thursday's business agreed to? Agreed. We have 24 minutes remaining on the Order of Business and 23 Members offering.
