I second the proposal made by Senator Kieran O'Donnell to have a debate in-----

It has already been seconded.

I would like to add to it, if the Cathaoirleach will allow me to do so.

It has been seconded.

The Leas-Chathaoirleach does not want to allow me to do so.

It is a very important subject which I have discussed here already.

This House can play an important role in dealing with the issue of Brexit. We can do things here they cannot do in committees, or in the other House for that matter. The proposal was made by Senator Kieran O'Donnell that a number of days be set aside to bring in various people who can outline their thoughts and views on Brexit. This may require changes to Standing Orders or other initiatives to be taken. However, it is a very good idea that a number of days would be set aside in order that people from various quarters could come to be the questioned and that the rules of the House would provide that they would outline their views. This could be of great benefit in allowing us to see where we are going or what might happen in the coming years. There is no doubt that the United Kingdom will not be out of the European Union for quite a number of years and we have seen recently that the trade deal between Canada and the European Union took seven years to put together. Brexit has a long way to go and what has been proposed by Senator Kieran O'Donnell could prove very beneficial.
