Judicial Appointments Commission Bill timing
The Chair clarified the timetable for No. 2 on the Order Paper, and the Leader expressed hope that No. 1 would conclude in time.
Before I call the Leader, I acknowledge the presence of family members of the late great Senator Dinny Eoin O'Sullivan, as he was affectionately known. He was almost from my own neck of the woods. His daughter and grandson are very welcome here. I hope they will enjoy the visit and that Senator Lombard does not lead them too much astray. I wish them a good day here.
I wish to clarify the position on No. 2, the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017, Committee Stage (resumed), which is to be taken at 1.30 p.m. or on the conclusion of No. 1. No. 1 is to conclude at 1.30 p.m. anyway. The Bill will be adjourned at 6 p.m. I take it that, irrespective of anything else, the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill will start at 1.30 p.m. and conclude or adjourn at 6 p.m. I call the Leader to respond.

I hope it will conclude, a Chathaoirligh.
