Acting Chairman:

I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Deputy Parlon, to the House. Of all the Ministers and Ministers of State, he can probably best understand the reasons for our detaining him. I apologise to the Minister of State and to Members.

Acting Chairman:

Before we commence, I wish to remind Senators that a Senator may speak only once on Report Stage, except the proposer of an amendment who may reply to the discussion on the amendment. Each amendment must be seconded. Amendment No. 1 is out of order as it was negatived on Committee Stage. Amendments Nos. 2 to 6, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Acting Chairman:

Amendment No. 1 not moved.
