You are out of order, Deputy. Resume your seat. This debate is over.

Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 312 of 313 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
The House has agreed that, for the duration of the Covid-19 emergency only, the rapporteur's report of the Business Committee shall not be read out but shall be taken as read. Arising from it there are just two proposals to put to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with today's business agreed? It is not agreed. I call Deputies Barry and Pringle.

Again, for the sake of accuracy, I did not propose or make any alteration for the proposed agenda for the week.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
I do not liaise with the Government on these matters. What happened was quite clearly this. Under Standing Order 29, the Government's prerogative is to determine the business of the week and how it will be taken. This is what the Government has done. I considered carefully the two requests from Deputies Naughten and Pringle under Standing Order 42 for a special notice question on this matter. Since the Government had at that stage already agreed to have a debate, it was not in order or appropriate to have Standing …

Everyone will have the opportunity to question when the debate takes place. I am conscious that I have a list of 36 people who want to ask questions on promised legislation. They are having increasingly less possibility of doing so because we are eroding the time. Is the proposal for dealing with it agreed? I call the Taoiseach.

Precisely how many Ministers would the Deputy like to see? If we are going to vote on something, we need to be sure what it is we are going to vote on. How many Ministers and going back over what period?

Strictly speaking, it is a matter for the line Minister. There is no precedent of which I am aware for retired or former Ministers to come in and answer to the House. In any event, the proposal for dealing with tomorrow's business has been challenged and I am going to put the question.
