As the Ceann Comhairle said, we are sitting late tonight, late tomorrow night and late on Thursday night, and there are two Bills, the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill and the Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Regulation Bill, to be dealt with. Report Stage of the Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Regulation Bill has to conclude on Thursday and the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill will take up pretty much all other allocated time. If we are to do as Deputy Bríd Smith has outlined and not interfere with the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill, we will have to look at either a Friday sitting or taking the debate next week.
