Seanad reform amendment withdrawal
Senator Conway-Walsh withdraws her amendment seeking an immediate debate on Seanad reform, saying she will raise it again if agreement is not reached.
Senator Rose Conway-Walsh proposed an amendment to the Order of Business, "That No. 9, motion 1 be taken today." Is it being pressed?

Out of respect for the work the Leader is trying to do and given that we are trying to work together to resolve this, because we agree on the need for reform, although we are not at a stage yet where his position is robust enough for not agreeing to take the amendment, I will bring it up again next week under the Order of Business if we cannot reach agreement in the meantime.
