Order of Business amendment
The Leader declines to accept the proposed amendment, and Senator Mooney confirms that he is pressing for a debate on Shannon Basin flooding.
Senator Michael Mullins spoke about the towns and villages affected by flooding in recent days and emphasised that they remained open for business. The people living in these places deserve our support. It is an issue that should be highlighted.
I do not propose to accept the amendment to the Order of Business.

Senator Paschal Mooney has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business, "That a debate with the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to outline his proposals to deal with flooding in the Shannon Basin be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?
