I move: That initiation of the Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) Bill 2021 may proceed pursuant to Standing Order 174 notwithstanding that pre-legislative consideration of the Bill pursuant to Standing Order 173 has not been completed. For the record of the House, I was accused just before the votes of bringing the Business Committee into disrepute. I was happy, having checked with the officials, to find that there was no dissent and no objection registered this morning when this motion was taken as the first item of business at the Business Committee.
I tell you what, a Cheann Comhairle, I will be emailing you now calling for an emergency meeting of the Business Committee. I believe you are bringing us into disrepute and I have to tell you that my colleagues in the Opposition agree with me. We will have an emergency meeting of the Business Committee on the back of this to sort it out.

For the record of the House, I was accused just before the votes of bringing the Business Committee into disrepute. I know I am of advancing years, as are some other Members, but I do not think my memory has failed me completely yet. I was happy, having checked with the officials, to find that there was no dissent and no objection registered this morning when this motion was taken as the first item of business at the Business Committee.
May I just clarify-----
No, thank you.
A Cheann Comhairle, I want to clarify something, please.
You need not bother.
I want to reference the Standing Order.
You need not bother, thank you.

Right.
I believe you are bringing us into disrepute and I have to tell you that my colleagues in the Opposition agree with me. We will have an emergency meeting of the Business Committee on the back of this to sort it out.
Thank you very much.
