I am sure we all join the Leas-Chathaoirleach in his good wishes to Ms Jody Blake. We are delighted to see her back.

The Order of Business today is No. 1, motion regarding a sessional order as agreed by the Committee on Procedure and Privileges; No. 2, Public Service Management (Recruitment and Appointments) Bill 2003-Report and Final Stages, to be taken at the conclusion of the Order of Business and to conclude not later than 4 p.m; and No. 19, motion No. 18, to be taken at 4 p.m. and to conclude not later than 6 p.m.

I have consulted with the leaders of the other parties on the early introduction of the Private Members' motion for this week only.
