I have a point of order. This is not to be provocative, but I-----

There is no point of order on this matter.

There is.

No, there is not. The Deputy does not decide whether there is a point of order. I do. There is no point of order.

Can we get clarity? Is the Minister to come to the House?

I have no power or authority under Standing Orders to direct the Taoiseach to give the Deputy any particular answer.

Can I ask the question again because the Taoiseach answers-----

Does the Deputy want to change Standing Orders? We have conducted-----

We are supposed to hold the Minister to account.

Excuse me. We have done our business in accordance with the procedures set down. The question now is whether the proposal for the week's business is agreed to.

I would like clarity on whether the Taoiseach is going facilitate the Minister coming to the Chamber or not, because he avoided the question.

No, no.

Has the Taoiseach agreed to a debate on the leaving certificate? I want clarity on that.

He said he would talk to the Whip with a view to organising it.

Yes. I will arrange it with the Whip.

On the same point, has the Taoiseach agreed to the Minister for Foreign Affairs coming in to answer questions on his role?

I said that we are not revisiting the issue as far as I am concerned.

It is not agreed.

The report stands.

The Minister will not come to the Chamber to answer questions.

Regardless of the Minister does, the report stands. It is not being revisited.

It is not about the report. Will the Taoiseach facilitate the Minister coming to answer questions in this House, which he said on "Morning Ireland" he would do?

If he does, that is fine.

Please, Deputy. It is as clear as day that the Taoiseach is saying: "No, the Minister won't be brought in to answer questions on this matter." That is what the Taoiseach is saying.

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

It is not agreed.
