That is correct. Any Member is entitled to move an amendment to the Order of Business under the Standing Orders supposedly adopted by this Dáil. I wish to propose an amendment to the Order of Business. It relates to the point made by Deputy O'Callaghan regarding the significant threats we face in terms of trade, the tariffs and the developments which may take place this week, particularly on foot of President Trump's announcement tomorrow.

I wish to propose that No. 2 of Thursday's business is amended to include statements on tariffs and global trade, subsequent to the conclusion of the statements on diverting young people from criminal activity.

I thank the Deputy. I ask the Chief Whip to respond.

I note the dissent as set down by the various Deputies. They also dissented at the Business Committee last Thursday. We will do our best to find some speaking time. I will engage with the Opposition Whips to find speaking time regarding tariffs. We had speaking time on that two weeks ago. I said last Thursday that, as soon as 2 April had passed, we will know exactly where we are and that we will find time.

Deputy Collins looked for time regarding Uisce Éireann, which will be facilitated next week, as I told him last Thursday. Now, I notice that he is looking for time regarding ACRES. There is only a certain amount of time every week. We will facilitate that in due course but the Deputy will also recognise the fact that all parties and groups can use the Private Members' time to facilitate discussions on areas they want to discuss.

Regarding what was said by Deputy O'Callaghan, I think, regarding speaking rights, we have just had Leaders' Questions. Leaders' Questions were allocated by party and grouping. The Other Members' Questions will be allocated by party and grouping. We are following the Standing Orders.

A Cheann Comhairle-----

Sorry Deputy, I am just about to respond. Resume your seat, please.

That makes no sense.

It is just a point of clarification on what the Government Chief Whip just spoke about. I was at the meeting of the Business Committee, as was the Ceann Comhairle, and other business was set down for Thursday. That business fell last Thursday, which meant that there was time. The objection to us looking for statements on tariffs was raised and it was stated that no time was available-----

Thank you, Deputy.

Time became available on Thursday last week-----

Deputy-----

It is disingenuous for the Government Chief Whip to stand up here and tell us time was not available.

Thank you, Deputy.

Time was available because it happened that day.

The Government knew in advance that the Social Welfare (Bereaved Partner's Pension) Bill-----

I thank the Deputy. He has set down his amendment.

It is not an amendment. This is a point of information, that the Government Whip is misleading the Dáil about exactly what happened at that Business Committee.

For anybody who was not present at the Business Committee last Thursday, what I said was that we had statements on tariffs two weeks ago and that we were all waiting with trepidation as to what would happen on 2 April and that then we would discuss speaking time in the very near future about what we will all find out tomorrow.
