Order of Business
The Leader outlined the day’s business, and the Cathaoirleach facilitated the opening Whip response. Senator Lombard then moved from pleasantries to raise Brexit, with a focus on fisheries and the impact on rural and coastal communities.
The Order of Business is No. 1, motion re the arrangements for the sitting of the House on Tuesday, 17 November 2020, to be taken on conclusion of the Order of Business without debate; No. 2, statements on the recognition of Irish military service at Jadotville in 1961, to be taken at 1.15 p.m. and to conclude at 2.45 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 six minutes to reply on the debate; No. 3, statements on disability day services, to be taken at 2.45 p.m. and to conclude at 4.15 p.m., with the contribution of all Senators not to exceed six minutes and the Minister to be given no less than six minutes to reply on the debate; and motion 27(7), Private Members' business, to be taken at 4.30 p.m., with the time allocated to this debate not to exceed two hours.

I compliment the Cathaoirleach on the unfortunate weekend his county had. It was a wonderful opportunity-----

Give a Corkman an inch and he takes a mile. I thank the Senator for his commiserations. I will pass them on to the Kerry team. I am sure it will warm the cockles of their hearts.
