The motion I am moving differs slightly from that on today's Order Paper, as the words "; and normal business will resume at 2.30 p.m." have been added to it.
I move:
That Seanad Éireann agrees with the recommendation of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges that, in accordance with the provisions for the address to Seanad Éireann by Distinguished Persons, Mr. John Bruton, European Union Ambassador to the United States, be invited to address Seanad Éireann on 8 November 2006 and the proceedings, which shall commence at 11 a.m. and conclude no later than 12.40 p.m., shall consist of a speech by the Cathaoirleach welcoming Ambassador Bruton, the address by Ambassador Bruton, at the conclusion of which he will reply to questions from the leaders of each group or their representative, and a speech of thanks by the Leas-Chathaoirleach for the address; and normal business will resume at 2.30 p.m.
