Financial Provisions (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-15
============================================================

Patrick O'Donovan (FG), Limerick County

I have no difficulty agreeing to a short suspension of the House if there are specific questions on the remainder of the Bill that Deputy Doherty wants to raise with the officials. I do not have a difficulty with that. I appreciate the Acting Chairman's tolerance. I literally became aware of this as a result of what the Deputy alluded to earlier, that is, the changing of Ministers within the Department of Finance, of which I am not a Minister of State, and which resulted in my being here this evening. If it is helpful to the House and to Deputy Doherty, I have no difficulty with a suspension in which issues can be raised. Alternatively, we will have a situation where, unfortunately, I will be over and back to the Deputy in the context of where we are at the moment.
