We have a concern with the Order of Business in regard to the timing and scheduling tomorrow evening of the Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024. Committee and Remaining Stages are scheduled for 7.57 p.m. Amendments have been tabled by a number of my Labour Party colleagues. We are concerned that there will not be adequate time to debate a number of important provisions in the Bill. We ask that Committee Stage be adjourned rather than taking Committee and Report Stages together tomorrow night. We must have adequate time to debate the amendments on this important Bill, which contains a number of quite disparate provisions within it. I understand from the Business Committee report that no order has been made to adjourn.

I take this opportunity express my congratulations to the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, on taking on the leadership of the Green Party.
