Darragh O'Brien: ...Development Bill 2020 and the urgent passage of this important legislation through the Houses of the Oireachtas. For this reason, I will be requesting, in due course, that this House considers a motion to enable the President to sign the Bill earlier than would be routine.

Darragh O'Brien: ...the Seanad and look forward to her contribution to debate. I note her arrival coincides with a week where very little is happening in the House.
