Microenterprise Loan Fund (Amendment) Bill 2024: Referral to Select Committee

7 contributions · 4 speakers · 167 words

Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

I move: That the Bill be referred to the Select Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment pursuant to Standing Orders 95 and 181. It is back to Deputy Quinlivan to have another go at it. Would that we could be as expeditious in dealing with all legislation as we were with that Bill.

We are about to move on to Private Members' business, which is a motion regarding general practice and local health services, but we await the arrival of Deputy Cullinane and a Minister from the Department of Health. I think Deputy Ó Murchú is leading off for Sinn Féin. No, I think I could get strung up.

FG Neale Richmond

I move:

That the Bill be referred to the Select Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment pursuant to Standing Orders 95 and 181.

CC Seán Ó Fearghaíl

It is back to Deputy Quinlivan to have another go at it. I congratulate everyone. Would that we could be as expeditious in dealing with all legislation as we were with that Bill.

We are about to move on to Private Members' business, which is a motion regarding general practice and local health services, but we await the arrival of Deputy Cullinane and a Minister from the Department of Health. Will Deputy Ó Murchú take this? He has no bother with any of it.

SF Ruairí Ó Murchú

If necessary, I would be willing. I would stand up to the mark.

CC Seán Ó Fearghaíl

The Minister of State, Deputy Butler, is here. I think Deputy Ó Murchú is leading off for Sinn Féin. Will he?

SF Ruairí Ó Murchú

No, I think I could get strung up.

FF Mary Butler

We are running early after losing all that time.

SF Ruairí Ó Murchú

I might get kicked out of the parliamentary party.
