Order of Business
The Leas-Cheann Comhairle opens the business arrangements, reminds Members about time limits and phone use, and asks if the week's arrangements are agreed. Deputy Mac Lochlainn objects.
In the context of the sensitivity of the topic today and expressions of condolence to the Murphy family, I have been liberal on time. I am going back to strict application of time limits for the next while. I remind Members about the use of phones in the Chamber, something we are all guilty of. We might reflect on the use of phones in the Chamber. The Ceann Comhairle has written to all of us asking that we desist from that and from taking photographs.
As agreed, during the emergency the rapporteur's report will be taken as read. Are the proposed arrangements for this week's business agreed to?
