Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

The Order of Business is No. 1, statements on the Annual Report of the Ombudsman 2003, to be taken at the conclusion of the Order of Business and to conclude not later than 4 p.m., with the contributions of spokespersons not to exceed 12 minutes, those of all other Senators not to exceed eight minutes and the Minister to be called upon to reply not later than five minutes before the conclusion of the statements;

No. 2, Twenty-seventh Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2004, Committee Stage, to be taken from 4 p.m. until 5 p.m., to resume at 7 p.m. and to conclude at 8.30 p.m. by one question from the Chair. However, we will watch how the debate develops because I would prefer the Bill to get as full an airing as it needs on Committee Stage; and No. 21, motion 19, the Private Members' motion, to be taken from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m.
