I am sure Members of the House would like to join me in wishing the Head Usher, Mr. Noel Kelly, well in his retirement. He is retiring today after a very long service in which he contributed to the smooth running of the House. He is a credit to the Oireachtas and has been an absolute gentleman to work with during the years.

Senator Marc MacSharry has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business, "That a debate with the Minister for Health on the national cancer control programme be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?
