Order of Business amendments
The Cathaoirleach recorded that Senator Gavan's amendment to take No. 18 first was agreed. Senator Flynn did not press her amendment to extend time for the climate Bill, citing the difficulty of fitting in debate.
Senator Gavan has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That No. 18 be taken before No. 1." The amendment was seconded by Senator Boyhan. The Leader has indicated that she is prepared to accept the amendment. Is the amendment agreed to? Agreed.
Senator Flynn proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That the proceedings of Committee Stage of the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion at 8.30 p.m."
Is the amendment being pressed?
Comment on this
No. Again, this highlights the issue of time. Hopefully circumstances will change when we come back in September because it is very tough to make the relevant points and have our discussions. We will not press the amendment.
