Before I ask the Leader to outline the Order of Business, I wish to welcome the students from St. Fintan's National School, Sutton. They are most welcome to Seanad Éireann and I hope they enjoy their stay. I have no doubt they will behave themselves. I think there is a Standing Order - I will have to check with the Clerk - that any school that comes to Seanad Éireann has no homework for the rest of the week. It is up to the students to implement the policy Seanad Éireann has put forward. If they have any problems with that they can write us a letter and we will deal with it next week. I ask the Leader to outline the Order of Business.

I welcome the boys and girls to the Chamber. The Order of Business is No. 1, motion regarding Planning and Development Act 2000 (Exempted Development) (No. X) Regulations 2023, referral to committee, to be taken on conclusion of the Order of Business without debate; No. 2, motion regarding Planning and Development Act 2000 (Exempted Development) (No. Y) Regulations 2023, referral to committee, to be taken on conclusion of No. 1 without debate; No. 3, motion regarding Planning and Development (Street Furniture Fees) Regulations 2023, referral to committee, to be taken on conclusion of No. 2 without debate; No. 4, Courts Bill 2023 – Second Stage, to be taken at 12.45 p.m. and to conclude at 2.45 p.m., if not previously concluded, with the time allocated to the opening remarks of the Minister not to exceed ten minutes, group spokespersons not to exceed eight minutes, those of all other Senators not to exceed five minutes and the Minister to be given no less than ten minutes to reply to the debate; No. 5, Regulation of Lobbying (Amendment) Bill 2022 – Committee Stage (resumed), to be taken at 2.45 p.m. and to adjourn at 5.30 p.m. if not previously concluded; and No. 6, Private Members' business, Electoral Reform (Amendment) and Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2023 – Second Stage, to be taken at 5.30 p.m., with the time allocated to this debate not to exceed two hours.
