There are three proposals to be put to the House. Before I put the first proposal, I ask the Taoiseach, now that the sitting is being extended to midnight, that a second break be included. The staff and those who service the Chamber only have a break for one hour from 1.30 p.m. to 2.30 p.m. It is not reasonable to ask people to work continuously for 12 hours. Can it be arranged that we will have some break in the debate this evening for the staff?
