Order of Business

Summary

The Ceann Comhairle briefly reminded Members that dissent during the Order of Business reduces time for legislative questions and then called the Chief Whip to move this week’s business.

Verona Murphy An Ceann Comhairle Independent

Before I call the Chief Whip, I want everybody - as there are some new Deputies - to be aware that when we move to the Order of Business, if there is dissent, the clock starts ticking and it removes time from the discussion on promised legislation.

Any procrastinating by Members takes from the time for Questions on Policy or Legislation and I ask them to please be aware of that. I call the Chief Whip to move the proposal for this week's business, in accordance with Standing Order 35.
