Before I ask the Deputy Leader to outline the Order of Business, I welcome to the Distinguished Visitors' Gallery, from Minneapolis in Minnesota, Julie Dolan and Easton and Oliver who are here with the erstwhile reporter from RTÉ, Paul Cunningham. They are most welcome. I know they have been all over the country and I thank them for coming to visit and for spending some US dollars here. It is appreciated, especially when they were in Kerry. I thank them for being here today.

I call the Deputy Leader to outline the Order of Business.

The Order of Business is No. 1, Energy (Windfall Gains in the Energy Sector) (Temporary Solidarity Contribution) Bill 2023 – Second Stage, to be taken on conclusion of the Order of Business, with the opening contribution 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 less than ten minutes to reply to the debate.

Not to be outdone by the visitors from Minnesota, we also have visitors all the way from Colorado. I thank them for coming and spending their dollars here. We hope they enjoy their time in Ireland. Their visit is most appreciated.

They might like to visit Galway instead of Kerry.

The Senator can do the canvassing for Galway after the Order of Business. I call on Senator Dooley.
