Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I wish to make an amendment to the Order of Business. We had planned to have a sos from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. so that the staff would have time to compile Report Stage amendments. With the agreement of the House, I suggest that we extend the time for Committee Stage from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and have a sos from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. I ask for the co-operation of the House in trying to get the amendments through. We have got through a very busy week without having to guillotine the debate. I ask the House to agree to amend the Order of Business as I have suggested.
