The first business is the appointment of Senators under Standing Order No. 3. That Order deals with the appointment of certain Senators to act as temporary chairman in case of the unavoidable absence of the Chairman or Deputy-Chairman. Last Session Senator Sir T. Esmonde and Senator O'Farrell were appointed, and if it is the wish of the Seanad I would suggest that their places should be taken for the coming Session by Senator Westropp Bennett and Senator MacPartlin.

I beg to propose that Senator Westropp Bennett and Senator MacPartlin be appointed under Standing Order No. 3 to act in the absence of the Chairman and Deputy-Chairman.

I beg to second.
