Order of Business
The Chair welcomed interns to the Gallery, and the Leader proposed the day's business, setting out the schedule and speaking times for the bills.
Before I ask the Leader to outline the Order of Business, I welcome interns of Deputy Cormac Devlin to the Gallery; Conor Eyre, Sam Casey, Paddy English, Eoin Fallon and John McCann.
