The Leader wishes to propose a further suspension of the sitting.
I propose that the sitting be suspended until 6.20 p.m. as the Minister for Health, Deputy Leo Varadkar, is taking a Topical Issue debate in the other House.
Will an additional 20 minute suspension be sufficient?
Yes. The debate will take place from 6.20 p.m. to 7.50 p.m., with the Minister to be called on to reply not later than 7.40 p.m.
Is that agreed? Agreed.
