I thank the Cathaoirleach and welcome everybody back. I am looking forward to a very fruitful session.

Today's Order of Business is No. 1, motion regarding the taking of divisions in the Seanad Chamber, to be taken on conclusion of the Order of Business, without debate; No. 2, motion regarding the address to the Seanad by the MEPs representing the European Parliament Midlands North-West constituency, to be taken on conclusion of No. 1, without debate; No. 3, motion regarding the appointment of a member to the Committee on Parliamentary Privileges and Oversight, to be taken on conclusion of No. 2, without debate; No. 4, motion regarding pre-legislative scrutiny waiver requests, to be taken on conclusion of No. 3, without debate; No. 76, motion 1, regarding bullying and sexual harassment in third level institutions, to be taken at 5.30 p.m. or 15 minutes after the conclusion of No. 4, whichever is the later, with the time allocated to this debate not to exceed two hours; and No. 5, motion regarding Ireland's opt-in to a proposal for a Council decision to extend the time period to exchange DNA profiles and fingerprints with the United Kingdom, to be taken at 7.45 p.m. or 15 minutes after the conclusion of No. 76(1), whichever is the later, and to conclude after 45 minutes, with the opening statement of the Minister not to exceed five minutes, the time allocated to group spokespersons not to exceed five minutes and the Minister to be given no less than five minutes to reply to the debate.

At the outset, I join with the felicitous remarks of our Cathaoirleach. I will not repeat them as that is not helpful but nobody would take issue if I again mention that we are delighted about Senator Moynihan's good news. The Deputy Leader will not have an issue with me calling on the father of the House first. It is great to have Senator Norris here.
