An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2025-04-01
============================================================

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (SF), Donegal

Before the Ceann Comhairle calls the Chief Whip, I wish to raise a point of order. The proposed Order of Business includes changes to Standing Orders. I have made a submission to the Ceann Comhairle on this issue on behalf of Sinn Féin. It is very clear, looking at the video recording of what happened last Tuesday, that the motion on Standing Orders was not passed. It was an amendment to the motion that was passed. It is absolutely clear that any suggestion to move now to the Order of Business and implement changes to Standing Orders is illegitimate. I am asking that the Ceann Comhairle not proceed and that she remove those changes to Standing Orders, particularly the provisions regarding so-called Other Members' Questions.
