Revised Order of Business
After the suspension, the Leader proposes arrangements for the Commissioner’s address and a later debate on the Beit collection, which the House approves.
It is proposed that No. 1, motion re arrangements for the address to Seanad Éireann on 23 June by Mr. Phil Hogan, European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, be taken now without debate; and that No. 1b on the Supplementary Order Paper, statements on the Beit collection, as requested, be taken at 4.30 p.m. and conclude not later than 5.30 p.m., with the contributions of all Senators not to exceed five minutes and the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht to be called on to reply to the debate not later than 5.20 p.m. Owing to the Minister's schedule today, this is the earliest time at which she can attend.
Comment on this
I thank the Leader. I know that much of this had to be arranged at short notice. On behalf of my group, I am agreeable to the Leader's proposal for the amended Order of Business for today.
