I welcome the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Alan Kelly, and congratulate him on his promotion. As he began his national political career in this House, we are delighted to have him here.

Before we commence, I remind colleagues that Members may speak only once on an amendment on Report Stage, except for the proposer who may reply to the discussion on it. Members are further reminded that all amendments brought forward by them must be seconded. Amendments Nos. 1 and 2 are related and may be discussed together. Is that agreed? Agreed.
