Business Committee dissent
The Chief Whip maintains that the week's business was agreed without dissent, while opposition Deputies dispute the record; the Chief Whip ultimately proposes proceeding and the House rejects the arrangements.
I notice all the requests from the various Whips. At the Business Committee meeting last Thursday, there was no dissent in relation to the Order of Business for this week, just the rolling dissent.

If I might just say, the Chief Whip has not even had a chance to get the words out of her mouth.

She had another sentence to complete. If the Deputy waits, we can make an adjudication.

Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCeann Comhairle. We have a busy schedule this week, with several pieces of important legislation. I propose we proceed with the Order of Business as set out.

Question put: "The amendment proposed to arrangements on the Order of Business is hereby negatived and the proposed arrangements for the week’s business are hereby agreed to."
Do you agree with this result?
