We now move on to the next item.
Business of Seanad
I understand we cannot proceed to the next item until 4 p.m. as the Minister is not available. I propose the suspension of business.
I suggest we have a debate early next week, at the latest, on the eurozone summit and, perhaps, the Deputy Leader could——
We dealt with that issue on the Order of Business this morning. It was agreed.
Is Senator Bacik amending the Order of Business?
I have been asked to propose the suspension of business until 4 p.m. as I understand the next business will not be ready until that time. We are somewhat ahead of time. Colleagues will be aware that we had scheduled a good deal longer for this debate and we are now able to move things forward to 4 p.m. for the Local Government (Household Charge) Bill 2011.
The Minister is not available.
I am sorry we cannot move straight to the Bill.
Sitting suspended at 2.45 p.m. and resumed at 4 p.m.
