Questions on promised legislation
After questions on promised legislation concluded, Deputy Danny Healy-Rae queried whether the clock had stopped during the vote and argued that his question on rights of way might be delayed until September. The Ceann Comhairle confirmed the rules had been applied and said the process would be reviewed.

Does this mean that my question and those of the other people on the list today will have to wait until the middle of September to be raised? I wanted to ask the Taoiseach if he would extend the time for the registration of rights of way beyond 30 November.

It needs to be extended at least as long as the virus has affected this country.

Please resume your seat, Deputy. You know the rules of the House the same as anyone. You have not been reached and that is not my fault. Please resume your seat as we have to carry on with the business.

We have an agreed procedure that applies to everyone. It applies to you, Deputy Healy-Rae.

I am asking the Ceann Comhairle to review the process we have at the present time for people getting in under questions on promised legislation.
