I move:

That Dáil Éireann approves, pursuant to section 2 of the Defence (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1960, as applied by section 2 of the Defence (Amendment) Act 2006, the deployment of a contingent of the Permanent Defence Force to serve as part of EUNAVFOR MED - Operation Sophia, and in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2312 (2016) and UN Security Council Resolution 2357 (2017), and subject to renewal of the UN mandate/authority thereafter.

Is it possible that, with the agreement of the House, we could finish the debate tonight? It was supposed to begin earlier. It would help in dealing with the business for the rest of the week if we could finish the debate tonight.
