Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil Dail Éireann — 2025-11-27 ============================================================ John McGuinness (CC), Carlow-Kilkenny I understand the Chief Whip intends to move a proposal in relation to the adjournment of the House this evening. Mary Butler (FF), Waterford It is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that the Dáil on its rising today shall adjourn until 6 p.m. on Tuesday, 2nd December, 2025. John McGuinness (CC), Carlow-Kilkenny Is that proposal agreed? Louise O'Reilly (SF), Dublin Fingal West Not agreed. Cian O'Callaghan (SD), Dublin Bay North Agreed. Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal What is the purpose of that? John McGuinness (CC), Carlow-Kilkenny Sorry, Deputy----- Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal On a point of order----- Louise O'Reilly (SF), Dublin Fingal West We are entitled to know. Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal -----there is a motion before us, so can I just address it? The Government Chief Whip cannot say the normal sitting of the Dáil will not happen on Tuesday without any explanation as to why this will happen. Does this mean Leaders' Questions will not happen on Tuesday again? The Taoiseach was not here this Tuesday. He seems to be evading accountability all the time. What is the rationale behind it? Mary Butler (FF), Waterford I have just left the Business Committee where this has been agreed with all Whips. Mark Ward (SF), Dublin Mid-West You could have let us know. Cian O'Callaghan (SD), Dublin Bay North I want to make the point that there was a discussion on this at Business Committee and all parties were involved. That meeting has just finished. Therefore, we do not have any objection to it. Michael Collins (II), Cork South-West Same. I was at the Business Committee meeting too, which just ended a while ago, and there was full agreement at it. John McGuinness (CC), Carlow-Kilkenny Given there has been full agreement at the Business Committee and the Chief Whip has announced the proposal----- Mark Ward (SF), Dublin Mid-West Tá an Government as láthair. Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary South Is Santa Claus coming? John McGuinness (CC), Carlow-Kilkenny I ask that Members agree to the proposal. Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary South Is Santy coming early or something? John McGuinness (CC), Carlow-Kilkenny The proposal is agreed to. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
