That is a very serious charge, Deputy. I did not hear any contradictory advice given to anybody. I refute the idea that the parliamentary legal department gave contradictory advice to anyone. I also refute the allegation that we are trying to block something that is somebody's constitutional initiative. You have tabled, as is your right, a motion which you could take, if you wanted to, tomorrow night in the Private Members' time that you have. You have two hours in which to take it, but you have chosen, Deputy, not…

Okay. Thank you very much, Deputy.

Is the proposal for dealing with Thursday's business agreed to?

Again, I reiterate that you have two hours on Wednesday evening which, if you chose, you could use to deal with this particular matter, but you have chosen not to use those two hours for that particular matter. That is a simple fact.

Sorry, I am not finished. The point you make about Deputy Mac Lochlainn's earlier intervention is very valid. This is a matter that can be discussed in detail at the Dáil reform committee. We may not have a perfect system in existence here, but from my point of view, I accept the advice given to me by skilled legal officers and by experienced senior personnel here in the Houses of the Oireachtas, and I trust those people. You may know better than all of the rest of us, and you are down in the courts challenging dec…

The reform committee can look at it.

The Deputy knows the rules around that as well as I do.

The Deputy cannot make it up as he goes along.

It is not normally allowed when the leaders are asking questions.

The tradition is that the major party leaders are allowed to ask a question and are not second-guessed by second contributors. When it comes to the groups, different rules apply.

I tried to change that in the Oireachtas Sub-Committee on Dáil Reform and it was resisted, including by Deputy Bruton's party.

That concludes Questions on Promised Legislation. Nineteen Deputies have not been reached and will be given priority tomorrow.

Seanad Éireann has passed the Credit Union Restructuring Board (Dissolution) Bill 2019, without amendment.

Is the Bill opposed?

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Francis Noel Duffy - to discuss the exclusion of social tenants from accessing facilities in a housing development complex and its social inclusion impact; (2) Deputies Kieran O'Donnell and Maurice Quinlivan - to discuss progress on the Coonagh to Knockalisheen distributor road scheme in Limerick; (3) Deputy Chris Andrews - to discuss Government co…

I am sorry, but we must move to Question No. 37.

Before we commence this item, it is important for me to set out the terms of engagement. I almost said "terms of endearment". Let us ensure they are terms of engagement. Last week, I ruled that the process followed by the Government in relation to judicial appointments could be raised, subject to keeping within the limits of parliamentary debate and respecting the normal rules on Cabinet confidentiality. As part of the official functions for which she is accountable to the House, the Minister for Justice, Deputy Mc…

I presume that is being looked after. We will make arrangements.

We will not be delaying but it would be most helpful if the speech could be circulated.
