What a time to be alive: the Dáil is now meeting at Leinster House with the sole intention of leaving Leinster House and going down to the CCD. Rows afoot.
SF also raising issue with the fact that the Govt's motion of confidence in Leo Varadkar trumps the previous SF plan, but came at such short notice that SF has been debarred from using its time for anything else
Deputy chief whip Brendan Griffin says SF had enough time to submit alternative business but didn't do so; he also argues that Varadkar could not legitimately take Question Time tonight as scheduled if there was a motion of confidence hanging over him
Also of note in the middle of this: if the SF motion of no confidence was left in its original slot the Govt would get around 30 of the 120 minutes. By tabling their own countermotion of confidence, the Govt parties will now get 60+ minutes out of 110
