Order of Business
The Leader sets out the day’s scheduled business, including Committee Stage of the Housing Bill and Second Stage of the Competition and Consumer Protection Bill, following birthday good wishes for Senator O’Brien.
I would like to get the week off to a good start by extending good wishes to the Leader of the Opposition, Senator Darragh O'Brien, on the occasion of his 40th birthday today.
