Order of Business

Summary

Senator O'Loughlin gave condolences on Larry Butler and outlined the business for the day. Senator Comyn then made brief seasonal remarks before beginning to raise housing issues.

I thank the Cathaoirleach for his lovely words about former Senator and councillor, Larry Butler. He was a very gregarious character and his sartorial elegance was always absolutely spot on. He always had the nicest and the best of suits and immaculately polished shoes. He was an absolute gentleman any time I met him and I know everybody who met him had the same experience. Our deepest sympathy to his family.

The Order of Business is No. 1, address to Seanad Éireann by Members of the European Parliament representing the Ireland South constituency, to be taken at 2.30 p.m., in accordance with the arrangements set out in the motion agreed by the House on 12 February 2026; No. 2, Residential Tenancies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2026 - Order for Committee Stage, Committee and Remaining Stages, to be taken at 4.30 p.m. and to adjourn at 7 p.m. if not previously concluded; and No. 3, Private Members' business, Education (Leave for Injuries) Bill 2025 - Second Stage, to be taken at 7 p.m., with the time allocated to this debate not to exceed two hours.
