That is not a point of order. Does Senator Healy Eames have a question for the Leader?

Comment on this

I have two brief questions for the Leader.

One, because we are away over time.

I am sure this matter has been raised many times across the House today. I encourage the Government to find every way possible to sort this mess out about the Garth Brooks concert. I was stunned yesterday morning to hear that 70,000 people are flying in from abroad.

Is Senator Healy Eames supporting the amendment to the Order of Business?

Comment on this

In particular, could we ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Bruton, on whose remit this has an enormous impact, to intervene? It is a total mess. The licensing situation must be reviewed, and the residents around Croke Park must be thought about.

Senator Healy Eames can make those points during the debate.
