Order of Business
The Chair welcomed a visitor, and the Leader outlined the business for the day, setting out the timetable for two bills.
Before I call on the Leader to outline the Order of Business, I welcome Evan Shine from County Tipperary to the Visitor's Gallery. He is in transition year and a guest of Senator Mary Fitzpatrick. He is most welcome to the Seanad.
