What plans does the Government have to deal with that ahead of the recess?

I understand the Tánaiste is out of the House attending the funeral of Lorcán Miller this morning. Our thoughts are with all the families. I want to place on record my party's appreciation of the Ceann Comhairle, the protocol office in the Department of the Taoiseach and everybody involved in St. Ann's Church on Dawson Street for the lovely ceremony that was held yesterday at the Ceann Comhairle's initiative. I think it was very appropriate and dignified. Those of us who were in attendance were genuinely privileged to have been there. It is also appropriate to place on the record once again our appreciation of and tribute to the staff of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade here in Dublin and particularly in Berkeley and elsewhere in the United States for the work they have done in very difficult circumstances over the past seven days.
