Order of Business amendments
The Chair records that the Irish Water amendment lapsed, the Palestine motion was advanced by agreement, and Senator Crown presses his amendment on pension reform.
Senator Darragh O'Brien has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That a debate with the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government on the difficulties in Irish Water and the question of the suspension of water charges be taken today." The amendment lapses as it has not been seconded.
Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That a debate with the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to discuss Irish Water be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?
