Voting on Wednesday arrangements

Summary

Members question what is being voted on if the Private Members’ motion is not on the Order Paper, and ask for a deferral. The Ceann Comhairle says the House is voting on the arrangements for Wednesday’s business, then confirms the motion and committee meeting will proceed.

Is the proposal for dealing with Wednesday's business agreed to?

Comment on this

What are we voting on if there is no motion down for Private Member's business?

Comment on this

It is interesting that this was not mentioned on the Order of Business, by the way.

The Deputies should reserve the right to make a recommendation at the committee meeting.

Comment on this

We cannot vote on a motion that is not on the Order Paper.

Can we defer a decision on Wednesday's business until later?

Comment on this

No, we are voting on the arrangements. What Solidarity-People Before Profit includes in the arrangements is its own business. It may be impacted upon by the meeting of the Dáil group.

Comment on this

That is a disgraceful thing to say to us. The Ceann Comhairle wrote to me at 9 p.m. last night. It is outrageous to tell us that it is our own business. The Ceann Comhairle is blocking it.

Comment on this

I am not in the habit of making outrageous statements.

Comment on this

The Ceann Comhairle is blocking the motion and he is making an outrageous statement now. Perhaps it is unprecedented, but he is doing it now.

Comment on this

I am not prepared to be bullied either.

Comment on this

I am not bullying anyone. The Ceann Comhairle is being bullied by somebody who is advising him badly.

Do you agree with this result?

As the question is carried, Wednesday's business is agreed to. Notwithstanding that we will have a meeting of the reform committee at 5 p.m. in committee room No. 2 to consider the concerns that Members have expressed.
