Senator Darragh O'Brien has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That No. 73, non-Government motion No. 20, be taken before No. 1." Is the amendment being pressed?

It is.

Under Standing Order 62(3)(b), I request that the division be taken again other than by electronic means.

Is the Order of Business, as amended, agreed to?

No.

I have outlined that we cannot get the Minister for Health to come to the House today. He will not be available for the next three days.

Can the Leader get a Minister of State at the Department of Health to come? We have won the vote on the Order of Business. As the amendment has been agreed to, the Leader will have to get some Minister to come. If the Minister for Health is not available, some Minister will have to come to answer questions about the matter.

Does the Leader wish to amend the Order of Business?

The amended Order of Business has just been agreed to.

Does the Leader wish to suspend the sitting-----

The Order of Business was amended to enable No. 73, non-Government motion No. 20, to be taken before No. 1.

Tá brón orm, a Chathaoirligh, but the House passed the amendment. As the House has agreed to the amended Order of Business, it is up to the Government to provide a Minister to take the debate on the very serious matter of the filling of a transplant post at Beaumont Hospital.

Will the Leader suspend the sitting until-----

I will suspend the sitting until 1.30 p.m. to allow me 25 minutes to find a Minister to come to the House.

Is that agreed? Agreed.
