Order of Business
The Chair welcomed visitors, and Senator O'Reilly set out the day's business on international developments and the Arbitration Bill.
I welcome Deputy Devlin and his guests, Dr. Elissa Dooley and Colm Dooley to the Gallery. I hope they enjoy their visit to Leinster House today and they are in very capable hands.
