Order of Business
The Leader proposes the day’s scheduled business, including the Health Service Executive Governance Bill and the referendum Bill, amid welcomes to guests and Senator Norris.
Before I call the Leader, I am sure that the House will join with me in welcoming guests of Senator Walsh, General Tommy R. Franks (Ret.) and his wife, Mrs. Cathy Franks, Senator Briggs Hopson and his wife, Mrs. Alison Hopson, and Mr. Doug and Ms Amy Polasky, to Leinster House. We hope that they enjoy their stay in Ireland.
