May we have clarification on No. 6? The Leader has said it is to be adjourned at 5.30 p.m. but my note states 6.30 p.m.

As the Minister has to go to the Dáil for a Topical Issue matter, rather than suspend the sitting of the House and reconvene, it is more appropriate, in the interests of the Minister and the House, for us to conclude at 5.30 p.m.

That is fine. That clarifies the matter.
