Denis O'Donovan: There are a number of Senators wishing to come in. I would like to make a brief observation, and I am trying to be fair as Cathaoirleach.

The Minister will be aware we will have the same circular arguments for the next day or two.

- Seanad: Order of Business (28 Jun 2018)
Denis O'Donovan: I am afraid the proposal by Senators Humphreys and Bacik to amend the Order of Business is in this instance both presumptive and anticipatory because the purpose of the Order of Business is to make arrangements for the taking of the business of the day.
