Business schedule not agreed

Summary

The Chief Whip said there was scope to discuss child safety and peacekeeper concerns, but the Government wanted the agreed weekly schedule to stand. Members objected when asked if the arrangements were agreed.

The schedule has been set for the week, but if there is agreement in the House, time could potentially be found to discuss child safety and ensure every party has an opportunity to set out its procedures to ensure it. Child safety is paramount, whether it is in a political party or another type of organisation.

The safety of the troops in Lebanon is paramount. There is daily engagement between the Tánaiste and representatives of UNIFIL and others who are assessing the situation daily. On the question Deputy Boyd Barrett raised, I am happy to speak with the Minister for Transport, Deputy Ryan, to see whether statements can be facilitated at a later stage. However, I understand there is a lot of legislation to pass this week, and the schedule as set is what has been agreed to date.
