Order of Business
The Leader outlined the day's schedule and welcomed pupils from Clontarf. Members immediately began debating the planned guillotine on the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill before the business moved on.
The Order of Business is No. 1, Social Welfare (No. 2) Bill 2019 - Committee Stage, to be taken at 12.45 p.m. and to adjourn at 3.30 p.m. if not previously concluded; No. 2, Gaming and Lotteries (Amendment) Bill 2019 - Report Stage [amendments from Dáil Éireann] and Final Stage, to be taken at 3.30 p.m. and to conclude at 4 p.m.; No. 3, Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017 - Report and Final Stages (resumed), to be taken at 4 p.m. and to conclude at 5.30 p.m. if not previously concluded by the putting of one question from the Chair which shall, in relation to amendments, include only those set down or accepted by the Government; and No. 4, Private Members' business-----

No. 4, Private Members' business, Consumer Insurance Contracts Bill 2017 - All Stages, to be taken at the conclusion of No. 3 and, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, to conclude after two hours.
I welcome the sixth class pupils from Belgrove primary school in Clontarf. They are very welcome visitors to the House. They have made a very positive impression on many of us this morning.
