Under Standing Order 35(3), I am entitled to propose an amendment to the Order of Business.

Sentiment score: 0.27

I propose that we suspend the Dáil and convene an urgent meeting of the Business Committee to deal with the outrageous proposition that the Dáil will not return next week and that 39 TDs in Sinn Féin will be allocated ten minutes - the same as your Government's group in opposition. Michael Lowry is a member of the Opposition.
