I hate to interrupt the Senator but I am conscious of the order of the day. I ask him to move the amendment if he plans to do so.
Business of Seanad
To allow others to contribute-----
Senator O'Reilly is yet to speak and then Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell has five minutes to conclude.
Can we take some more time on this?
Notwithstanding the order of the House today, I propose an amendment to proceedings on No. 1, the Minimum Custodial Periods upon Conviction for Murder Bill 2017, to allow for Senator O'Reilly, the Minister of State and Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell to contribute.
Senator O'Reilly and Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell have five minutes to conclude. What time? The Leader would want to allow another five minutes if he is concluding now.
I am going to finish now and then allow five minutes for Senator O'Reilly and five minutes for Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell and for the Minister of State.
Just so as to give us a few minutes grace, will we say 1.40 p.m? If it finishes earlier the other item can be taken.
Yes, I propose we conclude at 1.40 p.m.
Is that agreed? Agreed.
