Rory Kiely (Fianna Fail)

As has been explained to the Senators involved, because of the unusual circumstances applying I have allowed amendments which were not substantially discussed on Committee Stage to be retabled on Report Stage. I emphasise that this will not be a precedent for future proceedings.

I remind Senators that a Senator may speak only once on Report Stage except for the proposer of an amendment, who may reply to the discussion on the amendment. Each amendment must also be seconded.
