Order amendments and flooding statement
The Chair records amendments to provide a 15-minute ministerial flooding statement and confirms that the flooding amendment is withdrawn, while separate amendments on private investigators and medical cards are formally pressed.
The Leader has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business that the debate on No. 1 be adjourned at 2.40 p.m. and that the Minister of State, Deputy Simon Harris, make a 15 minute statement on flooding. I ask Senators to bear this in mind.
Senator Marc MacSharry has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business, "That a debate be taken today on plans to address the causes and consequences of flooding."
