The Order of Business is No. 1, Knowledge Development Box (Certification of Inventions) Bill 2016 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] - Report and Final Stages to be taken at 4.45 p.m. and to conclude not later than 5.15 p.m., if not previously concluded, by the putting of one question, which shall in respect of amendments include only those set down or accepted by the Government; No. 2, Companies (Accounting) Bill 2016 - Second Stage, to be taken on the conclusion of No. 1 and to be adjourned not later than 7 p.m., if not previously concluded, with the contribution of group spokespersons not to exceed eight minutes and those of all other Senators not to exceed five minutes each; and No. 3, Critical Health Professionals Bill 2017 – Second Stage, to be taken on the conclusion of No. 2 with the time allocated for this debate not to exceed two hours.

Is there any indication of the approximate time the Companies (Accounting) Bill will be taken?

It will be just after 5.15 p.m., depending on whether there is a vote. If there is a vote on the Knowledge Development Box (Certification of Inventions) Bill, then the Companies (Accounting) Bill will be taken whenever that is finished.

I thank the Leader.

Debate on the first Bill should end at 5.15 p.m.
