Of the matters raised by the Senators suitable for discussion, I have selected Senators Clifford-Lee, O’Donnell, Byrne and Wilson and they will be taken now. I regret that I had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Noone on the ground that it is a repeat of a Commencement matter raised on 28 May 2019. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
