Before I call the Leader to outline the Order of Business, I welcome Councillor Daniel Ennis to the Gallery, along with Paul McCauley and Mason McGuinness from Cór na nÓg. They will be back here some day, please God, in the Seanad or the Dáil. I know there are applications going for the Presidency as well. They might be a bit too young at the moment but we are all seeking applications. In the Distinguished Visitors Gallery, from the British embassy, I welcome George Moore, first secretary, and Ellen O'Donoghue, political officer. I think the O'Donoghues are from Kerry so she might have some relations there. They are most welcome to Seanad Éireann.

The Order of Business is No. 1, statements on sea fisheries, to be taken at 1 p.m. and to conclude at 2.30 p.m. if not previously concluded, with time allocated to the opening remarks of the Minister not to exceed ten minutes, group spokespersons not to exceed ten minutes, all other Senators not to exceed five minutes, time may be shared, and the Minister to be given not less than eight minutes to reply to the debate; No. 2, Private Member's business, Health (Scoliosis Treatment Services) Bill 2024 - Report and Final Stages, to be taken at 3 p.m. and to adjourn at 5 p.m. if not previously concluded; and No. 3, Private Member's business, Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill 2024 - Committee Stage, to be taken at 5.30 p.m. and to adjourn at 7.30 p.m. if not previously concluded.
