Business of Dáil

20 contributions, as the Official Report records them.

John McGuinness

Fianna Fáil recorded as An Leas-Cheann Comhairle In the chair Link to this
I understand the Chief Whip intends to move a proposal in relation to the adjournment of the House this evening.

Mary Butler

Fianna Fáil recorded as Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach (Deputy Mary Butler) As a minister Link to this
It is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that the Dáil on its rising today shall adjourn until 6 p.m. on Tuesday, 2nd December, 2025.

Pearse Doherty

Sinn Féin Link to this
-----there is a motion before us, so can I just address it? The Government Chief Whip cannot say the normal sitting of the Dáil will not happen on Tuesday without any explanation as to why this will happen. Does this mean Leaders' Questions will not happen on Tuesday again? The Taoiseach was not here this Tuesday. He seems to be evading accountability all the time. What is the rationale behind it?

Mary Butler

Fianna Fáil As a minister Link to this
I have just left the Business Committee where this has been agreed with all Whips.

Cian O'Callaghan

Social Democrats Link to this
I want to make the point that there was a discussion on this at Business Committee and all parties were involved. That meeting has just finished. Therefore, we do not have any objection to it.

Michael Collins

Independent Ireland Link to this
Same. I was at the Business Committee meeting too, which just ended a while ago, and there was full agreement at it.

John McGuinness

Fianna Fáil recorded as An Leas-Cheann Comhairle In the chair Link to this
Given there has been full agreement at the Business Committee and the Chief Whip has announced the proposal-----

John McGuinness

Fianna Fáil recorded as An Leas-Cheann Comhairle In the chair Link to this
I ask that Members agree to the proposal.

John McGuinness

Fianna Fáil recorded as An Leas-Cheann Comhairle In the chair Link to this
The proposal is agreed to. I ask colleagues to join me in extending a very warm welcome to our Commissioner, Michael McGrath, who has joined us in the Distinguished Visitors Gallery today. Commissioner McGrath, in his role as European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, has just come from a meeting with the Oireachtas Joint Committee on European Union Affairs and is visiting Leinster House today with a delegation that comprises his Cabinet officials and Mr. Peter Power, head of the European Commission representation in Ireland. The Commissioner is very welcome. We were delighted to have him here for the part of the debate with the Minister for agriculture on our fight in Europe. He is very welcome to a gathering with which he is very familiar. I thank him very much.
