Thursday evening business shall be the Motion re Report entitled “Examination of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare Report”. I am aware we are running out of time in this Dáil term but, given the seriousness of what has happened in the context of violence against women and the outcome of Natasha's case, we have to find time to debate this issue. I thought the reason the Business Committee was put together was to make sure of the Order of Business.
As a member of the Business Committee, I will say that the Business Committee basically has no powers. The impression is put out all the time that the Business Committee decides on the business of the House when it does not really. On behalf of People Before Profit, I would like to express our condolences to the families of both Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh and Tommie Gorman.
