The Order of Business is No. 1, Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2019 - Second Stage to be taken on the conclusion of the Order of Business with the contribution of group spokespersons not to exceed 12 minutes, time can be shared, and all other Senators not to exceed eight minutes, and No. 2, a motion on the proceedings of the Committee and Remaining Stages of the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2019 to be taken at the conclusion of No. 1, without debate.

Before I call Senator Ardagh I might ask the Leader to reflect on the issue of the Commencement matters. We had difficulties because of the Ministers who have travel engagements. I wonder whether it is superfluous to have Commencement matters for Wednesday and Thursday as Ministers may not be available as they have functions to fulfil. I ask the Leader to reflect on this before tomorrow.

I would be happy to reflect on the Cathaoirleach's suggestion. I will work with Members of the House to ensure the smooth running of the House.

Let me assure Members who were not facilitated today because of reasons outside our control that they will be given priority on the next occasion.
