Gerry Horkan: The rescheduling of the Finance Bill means it will start at 12.47 p.m. with the Minister of State, Deputy D'Arcy. Deputy Michael McGrath must be there also. This means we really have only two minutes left, so that was probably the last question. We will reschedule the final module of today's meeting for another day with the Ministers of State, Deputies D'Arcy and Moran.

- Seanad: World AIDS Day: Statements (30 Nov 2017)
Gerry Horkan: I thank the Minister of State for her thoughtful conclusion. We were both members of the regional authority together a long time ago.

- Seanad: Domestic Violence Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (30 Nov 2017)
Gerry Horkan: I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Justice and Equality, Deputy Stanton. Before we commence, I remind the House that a Senator may speak only once on Report Stage, except the proposer of the amendment who may reply to the discussion on the amendment. On Report Stage, each amendment must be seconded. Amendment No. 1 arises from Committee proceedings.

- Seanad: Diplomatic Relations (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Dec 2017)
Gerry Horkan: Amendment No. 1 has been ruled out of order as it is a potential charge on revenue.
- Seanad: Diplomatic Relations (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Dec 2017)
Gerry Horkan: There are two issues here. Amendment No. 1 is out of order and that is that. The Senator is still entitled to oppose section 9 as it stands, regardless of the amendment. I think that is the point that he is making.
- Seanad: Diplomatic Relations (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Dec 2017)
Gerry Horkan: It is not the Minister who rules something out of order, it is the Cathaoirleach, that is to say, not me, as Acting Chairman, but the actual Cathaoirleach.
- Seanad: Diplomatic Relations (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Dec 2017)
Gerry Horkan: There is a note here on the amendment but I do not think that the Senator needs me to read it all out. He is opposing section 9.
- Seanad: Diplomatic Relations (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Dec 2017)
Gerry Horkan: I will ask the Minister of State to speak on section 9 if he chooses.

- Seanad: Department of Rural and Community Development: Statements (5 Dec 2017)
Gerry Horkan: I thought that might be the case but I was not sure if he had been in the House when I was not present. He is very welcome to our new Chamber. I congratulate him on his elevation to Cabinet. Of course, since last week, he is no longer the newest member.
