I second Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh's amendment to the Order of Business. It seems extraordinary that things should be done in such a rush. I do not blame the Leader. This has come about because we were late in transposing an EU directive and that it was stuck in at the last minute. This shows very bad administration on the part of the Government. The Government should be strongly criticised for this and also the civil servants for not alerting the establishment. The Bill, so far as it goes, and in as far as I can understand it, is welcome. I have here the Order Paper for the day and there is no mention of it, not a whisper.

There is a Supplementary Order Paper.

I am well aware of that.

It is totally unacceptable.

This is the printed Order Paper for the day. There is not a whisper of it. It only came through at 10 a.m. The Bill is welcome. This is a response to the Deepwater Horizon environmental tragedy that took place in the Gulf of Mexico. When dealing with people such as Shell Oil one certainly needs to be up to date in terms of safety provisions as it will skimp on every single thing. It has been involved in accidents of various kinds all over the world so we need to monitor it. The Irish Government should be doing so and not at the behest of the European Commission. As we should be monitoring the operation of this company, I am very happy to second Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh's amendment.
