I am sorry to have to interrupt the Senator but it is now a few minutes past the customary time for adjournment. I should like the House to determine what it wishes to do.
Business of Seanad.
I think we will sit until 11 o'clock anyhow.
Are we agreeable to sit until 11 o'clock, if necessary, to finish the Second Stage?
At least until 11 o'clock.
I do not know if that is what the Opposition agreed to.
It might be worth having another look at the situation at 11 o'clock to see if the end is in sight.
I take it that the Seanad is not even beginning to think of finishing tonight.
We will agree to sit until 11 o'clock but if the situation should arise that there is a concluding speaker—I am not talking about the Taoiseach, but a Senator concluding—we might possibly sit a little longer to let him finish.
I do not think that is very satisfactory but I know there are at least some Senators who are thinking in terms of speaking in the morning.
Let us take it that 11 o'clock is definite. If, say, Senator Yeats is speaking at 11 o'clock and requires a few minutes in which to conclude, we will not prevent him from concluding.
Then continue the Second Reading in the morning.
Yes.
We are clear now that the debate will continue to 11 p.m. Since the Senator has been interrupted, perhaps, I could take the opportunity now if the Seanad is willing to receive the report from the Committee of Selection which met this afternoon.
