The Leader outlined the scheduled business for the day. Members then briefly welcomed visitors in the Gallery, which was not a substantive matter.

The Order of Business is No. 1, motion regarding Sectoral Employment Order (Construction Sector), back from committee, to be taken on the conclusion of the Order of Business without debate; No. 2, statements on progress regarding the implementation of the Comprehensive Employment Strategy for People with Disabilities 2015-2024, to be taken at 12.45 p.m. and to conclude at 2 p.m., with the contribution of group spokespersons not to exceed eight minutes, all other Senators not to exceed five minutes and the Minister to be given no less than five minutes to reply to the debate; and No. 3, statements on the national broadband plan, to be taken at the conclusion of No. 2 and to conclude after one and a half hours with the contribution of group spokespersons not to exceed eight minutes, all other Senators not to exceed five minutes and the Minister to be given no less than five minutes to reply to the debate.

With the indulgence of the Cathaoirleach, I welcome the students and pupils from Knockbridge, Dundalk, who are part of the student council, accompanied by Councillor Maria Doyle, to the Gallery. They are very welcome and I thank them for being here this morning.

In the spirit of confidence and supply, I also welcome Councillor Maria Doyle and her group. It is good to see young people so involved in politics.
