May I first congratulate the Chair on his election to the high office of Ceann Comhairle. I wish him every success in the discharge of his responsibilities in that office. I also join with the Chair in offering my understanding and sympathy to Deputy Paddy Harte, and my full agreement that he, too, would have filled that Chair with great distinction had that turned out to be the case.
I move:
That the Dáil shall sit later than 5.30 p.m. today and not later than 12 midnight.
