I welcome the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan, and his officials who will accompany him during our consideration of the Finance Bill 2015. The purpose of the meeting is to consider the Finance Bill 2015 which was referred to the select sub-committee by Dáil Éireann on 10 November 2015. The times by which the sub-committee must complete its consideration of specified groups of sections and the amendments addressed to these sections are determined by an allocation of time order made by the Dáil on 12 November. The order has been circulated to members. The order of the Dáil provides that any division claimed on the proceedings of the Bill must be postponed until immediately before the time set for the relevant guillotine or, if proceedings conclude before the time for the guillotine is reached, on completion of those proceedings. The putting of any question which is contingent on a postponed division must similarly be postponed. Is it agreed that we take a short break at 6.30 p.m. and resume consideration of the Bill at 7 p.m.? Agreed.
