I advise the House that there may be further business to be taken this evening. I, therefore, propose that we suspend the sitting until 8 p.m., at which time I will advise the House of the business to be taken.
Business of Seanad
Is that agreed? Agreed.
Sitting suspended at 5.50 p.m. and resumed at 8 p.m.
I propose an amendment to the Order of Business, that we suspend the sitting until 9 p.m., at which time No. 2a on the Supplementary Order Paper circulated to all Members will be taken, to conclude by 9.30 p.m and on which Senators may speak for five minutes.
Is that agreed?
On a point of order, will an hour be sufficient? If the Leader believes an hour will be enough, we are willing to co-operate in every way possible.
I appreciate that; the request has been made by the person involved.
That is fine.
The report has not yet been place in Senators' pigeon holes.
I thank Members and the Whips for their co-operation.
Is the proposal agreed to? Agreed.
Sitting suspended at 8.05 p.m. and resumed at 9 p.m.
