Order of Business
The Minister moved a motion temporarily changing the rota for oral parliamentary questions. The Deputy Speaker then tried to move on to the Appropriation business, but a brief objection led to an adjournment for a 40-minute break, with seasonal good wishes exchanged.
I move:
That, notwithstanding anything in the Order of the Dáil of 12th December, 2017, setting out the rota in which Questions to members of the Government are to be asked, Questions for oral answer, following those next set down to the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, shall be set down to Ministers in the following temporary sequence:
Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform
Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht
Taoiseach and Minister for Defence
Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade
Minister for Finance
Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government
whereupon the sequence established by the Order of 12th December, 2017, shall continue with Questions to the Minister for Education and Skills.”

I think we all need a rest. Beidh sos againn ar feadh 40 bomaite. Tá súil agam go mbeidh mé ar ais sa Chathaoir ach, ag an phointe seo, guím gach rath agus bliain úr faoi mhaise ar gach duine.
