Dáil Éireann - Volume 147 - 18 November, 1954

Order of Business.

The Taoiseach: Business will be taken in the following order, as set out on the Order Paper: Nos. 1, 2, 6, 7, and 8. It is proposed that the debate on item No. 2 be concluded not later than 8 p.m., thus giving a little bit more than we promised.

Mr. Lemass: I presume there will be the usual arrangement whereby one of the Deputies whose names appear [808] to this motion will be given time to reply?

An Ceann Comhairle: I was about to suggest that a reasonable time would be allowed to the mover of the motion or to somebody delegated by him——

Minister for Agriculture (Mr. Dillon): I suppose we could not have advance notice as to who the delegate will be?

The Taoiseach: I wonder could we have advance notice as to what is considered “a reasonable time”?

Mr. Lemass: Half an hour.

Mr. Dillon: I should like to know which of the five aces in this pack of cards it will be.
