Last week, Members started to debate statements on Scouting Ireland but the debate was not concluded. I find it unusual that the debate did not flow into the following week, given there are new subjects for statements. Deputy Rabbitte was in possession and three or four Members, myself included, wanted to make a contribution on it. I suspect the matter could be concluded in well under an hour and I ask the Chief Whip and the Business Committee to consider putting it into the schedule.

It was not raised at the Business Committee meeting but we can take it on board and see if there can be a time slot later, depending on how business goes.

See what can be done.

I thank the Chief Whip. I did bring it to the attention of his office well before the Business Committee met.

Deputy Farrell now knows how awfully hard it is for us.

It is going overboard.
