Sympathy and amendment agreed
Senator Murphy asked that the Leader contact the families of Farrell McElgunn and Terry Brennan. The Leader agreed, the Chair said the matter would go to CPP, and the House then agreed McDowell's amendment to take No. 5 before No. 1.
Before the Order of Business is agreed, it was mentioned that the former Senator, Farrell McElgunn, had died. Perhaps the Leader would correspond with the McElgunn family in Carrick-on-Shannon along with the Brennan family.
Comment on this
We will bring that up at the CPP, as suggested.
Senator McDowell has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That No. 5 be taken before No. 1." The Leader has indicated that she is prepared to accept the amendment. Is the amendment agreed to? Agreed.
