Finance Bill timing and gallery visitor
The chair noted that the House was already beyond the scheduled time for the Finance Bill, then welcomed Councillor Mattie Ryan to the Gallery and asked Members to agree the Order of Business. Agreement was reached.
I remind Members that we are 15 minutes beyond the scheduled time for discussion of the Finance Bill, which is an important Bill.
Comment on this
No, it is a combined effort. I am trying to get agreement. Before we move to the Finance Bill, I welcome a visitor to the Gallery, Councillor Mattie Ryan, who is the first citizen of Tipperary. He and his friends are very welcome. I am not sure whether the correct term is mayor of Tipperary or chairman of Tipperary County Council, which used to be two councils. He is most welcome, as is Deputy Jackie Cahill. I hope he and his friends have a pleasant day in Leinster House. Is the Order of Business agreed? Agreed.
