I wish to again extend our deepest sympathy to the Ferris family on the sudden and tragic death of our colleague, Deputy Michael Ferris.
We are resuming consideration of the National Minimum Wage Bill, 2000. I welcome the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Harney, and the officials of the industrial relations section of the Department, Mr. Maurice Cashel, Mr. Ciaran Ó Cuinneagáin and Mr. Maurice Nagle. I suggest that, as previously agreed, we work until approximately 6 p.m. when we will suspend for 30 minutes. We will resume at 6.30 p.m. until approximately 8.30 p.m. Is that agreed?
