I thank the Leader for outlining the Order of Business.

I welcome the guests of the Minister of State, Malcolm Noonan. They are from Loreto Secondary School, Kilkenny, and are most welcome to Seanad Éireann. The unofficial rule of Seanad Éireann is that if pupils visit, they do not have homework for the rest of the week. We always try to encourage them to come on a Tuesday. If we sat on a Monday, they could visit on a Monday, but unfortunately today is a Thursday. There is to be no homework today and tomorrow.

Maybe it should be for a week in future.

Have I a seconder for the proposal for a week?

I am happy to second it.

It has been seconded, so no homework for a week is now official policy of the Seanad. Congratulations. Senator Horkan should note it is now on the record. He is all right; he is now getting all the votes in Kilkenny.

And everywhere else.

And everywhere else. Indeed.

Order of Business agreed to.
