I move amendment No. 195:

In page 74, line 34, after “directive” to insert the following:“other than a request for the provision or continuance of artificially delivered nutrition and hydration”.

I did not have an opportunity to welcome the Minister of State to the House and I do so now. Perhaps you could assist me with a matter, a Chathaoirligh. Senator Norris and I had intended to move Senator Feargal Quinn's amendment No. 23. We did not get to do that but it does seem to me that the issues he raised are important in terms of the Irish Kidney Association or recognised donor registration bodies. Does my adverting to the issue at this point act in ease of his reintroducing the matter on Report Stage? I realise that we did not move the amendment and I am anxious that it would not be impossible to move it on Report Stage for want of a discussion on Committee Stage. Do I understand the procedures of the House correctly? I am anxious that Senator Quinn would not miss his opportunity to raise the issue on Report Stage.
