Is the proposal for dealing with Tuesday's business agreed?

No. Could more than five minutes be allocated to make statements on the referendum? Only five minutes per political grouping is available and the scale of what happened on Friday and Saturday is so huge that we need time to assimilate it, for example, before the Minister publishes the legislation.

We get the Deputy's point.

Please, I am allowed a minute to explain why I think it is important.

We will ask for it.

Deputies and Senators who took the "No" position may want to decide they want to live in a different time zone to the one they advocated. Primarily, however, this Dáil should discuss the massive numbers who turned out to vote, the huge increase of 100,000, almost 10% more than voted before and the revolutionary response they gave in respect of church and State. Could ten minutes be allocated?

I call Deputy Eamon Ryan but it has to be a brief intervention.

I want to back Deputy Coppinger. She is absolutely right. We should give it time.

Last week at the Business Committee we had a battle on our hands to get extra time and we are sitting late on Thursday as well. We are completely under pressure with Government legislation but if people want to sit longer tonight or tomorrow I am happy to do that.

I have to put the question. Is the proposal for dealing with Tuesday's business agreed to?

On a point of order, if the Government is willing to accept the longer-----

It is up to the Business Committee.

It is a bit late now to-----

It will be starting immediately after this.

It will be starting immediately after this.

Maybe an extra hour could be found tomorrow.

I suggest that we do not conclude the statements. If we do what is scheduled for today and simply adjourn the debate and hold it when the Business Committee can fit it in later in the week, for a more considered debate than we would have in five minutes.

I accepted it even though I was not happy with the decision of the Business Committee to have five minutes. I would have preferred the d'Hondt method, if we want to be absolutely fair about speaking times in the House on matters of this kind. People cannot come in here and say five minutes, which we had to agree to and I had to agree to as a leader, and then say they want to change that. I am all for a larger debate ideally but it will not be because-----

Fianna Fáil opposed any debate that I proposed at the Business Committee.

We are having a debate. I have no issue with a debate.

I proposed it at the Business Committee.

I know the Deputy did but he cannot run the House.

I am not saying we should run it.

I have no difficulty with a longer debate. I have no difficulty with the Dáil coming back to this debate. I would like to get advance notice. I would like the Business Committee when it makes up its mind not to be coming in 24 hours later with a new proposal. That is what is going on all the time and it is unsustainable.

Deputy Martin should have thought about that five years ago and we would not have this.

I totally accept what Deputy Martin is saying on this. Last Thursday morning there were no statements on this important matter but we decided to give it time. If the House wants extra time I am happy to agree to adjourning the debate and trying to find extra time later in the week but that is not my decision. I am only one member of the Business Committee.

Is it agreed the Business Committee will not conclude the statements but adjourn them? Agreed. 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 22 minutes remaining for questions on promised legislation. I will call the leaders of the parties or groups first, starting with Deputy Micheál Martin.
