Vol. 165 No. 12

Business of Seanad.

It was agreed on the Order of Business this morning to review progress at 5 p.m. The Progressive Democrats Private Members' Business was ordered for 6 p.m. However, given that several more Senators wish to contribute on Second Stage and the need to dispose of the legislation this evening, with the agreement of the House, we will postpone Private Members' Business until Wednesday, 21 March and proceed with the remaining Stages of the Bill.

We support the proposal, but perhaps there could be a break for 30 minutes as some Members have been here all afternoon.

An Leas-Chathaoirleach

We can deal with that matter at the end of Second Stage, but the Senator's point is noted.

Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (Mr. Davern): We would like a break at the end of Second Stage to consider amendments.

I propose a half hour break at the end of Second Stage before beginning Committee Stage.

An Leas-Chathaoirleach

That may need to be proposed at that stage. Is the deferral of Private Members' Business agreed? Agreed.
