There he goes. I want to thank the 17 Members of the House for their contributions to the Order of Business. I want to join Senator Ardagh in welcoming our guests to the House and hope they will have a very pleasant visit.

Senator Boyhan raised the issue of the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill. I thank the Members of the House for their 26 hours of participation on Committee Stage. I know we are nearing the end of term but Senator Norris speaks about bombardment. If one reflects upon the 26 hours of Committee Stage of the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill, one would certainly see-----

Ciúnas, there is some background noise and I am finding it hard to hear.

It is probably the same foreign stations butting in. They were doing it all week. We had 26 hours of debate on Committee Stage.

There are 100 to go.

Provided the Opposition parties keep us here and do not go to the country, we will still be able to debate it.

One hundred and ten.

I thank the Members. It is not my intention to bring the Bill back next week, to be fair to Members. We have other business we need to get finished before the recess.

In terms of the water referendum, I do not have any policy announcement to make to Senator Boyhan. The Government did publish the Water Services Policy Statement 2018-2025. What the Minister has said about the referendum is that he has no problem having one, provided we have a robust form of wording which does not allow for unintended consequences. That requires a piece of work to be done. We should all reflect upon our political stances around water, given that we are now going to hear cries in the autumn from some Members about the lack of water, about the drought, about investment in infrastructure. Some people and some political parties played football with water to curry favour with the electorate.
