The Order of Business is No. 1, motion re the arrangements for the sitting of the House on Tuesday, 17 December next, to be taken at the conclusion of the Order of Business without debate; No. 2, Industrial Development (Amendment) Bill 2019 - Report Stage, amendments from Dáil Éireann, and Final Stage, to be taken at the conclusion of No. 1; No. 3, Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) (Amendment) Bill 2019 - Report Stage, amendments from Dáil Éireann, and Final Stage, to be taken at the conclusion of No. 2; No. 4, Housing (Regulation of Approved Housing Bodies) Bill 2019 - Committee and Remaining Stages, to be taken at the conclusion of No. 3 or at 12.45 p.m., whichever is the later; and No. 5, statements re the appointment of a sarcoma specialist at St. Vincent's University Hospital, to be taken at 1.30 p.m. or on the conclusion of No. 4, whichever is the later, and to conclude after 30 minutes, with the contributions of group spokespersons not to exceed six minutes each.

Can the Leader confirm that No. 5 is to conclude after 30 minutes?

Yes. Senator Devine asked for a discussion on this specific matter. It is for 30 minutes. The reason it is at 1.30 p.m. is that the Minister is not available until that time.

I thank the Leader and call Senator Leyden.
