I am not easily confused by the Senator but in this instance-----

May I ask-----

I am asking a question. As Leader of the House, I am totally unclear on what is being proposed.

I will clarify it.

I would like to ask a question.

Senator Norris's turn will come.

I have a question about Senator Leyden's proposal because it is not clear. I would not know which way to vote on it.

I am trying to clarify it.

Is Senator Leyden proposing that the debate he is seeking should replace the scheduled debate on the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017 or that the latter would be rolled on until later in the evening?

Senator Leyden's proposal is that the debate he is seeking take place instead of the debate on the Bill.

I am proposing that we have it at 3 p.m.

No, that is not the proposal

I am asking that it take place after the debate on No. 1.

After No. 1 and instead of No. 2.

That is fair enough.

If Senator Leyden's amendment is accepted, the debate on No. 2 will not take place.

Surely Senator Leyden's amendment simply knocks back the debate on the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill until later in the afternoon or evening?

No, Senator Leyden is proposing that the debate he has requested be taken instead of the debate on the Bill.

I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach for clarifying the situation at last.
