Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

The Order of Business is No. 1, a referral motion to the Joint Committee on Justice, Equality, Defence and Women's Rights to consider the report of the independent commission of inquiry into the murder of Seamus Ludlow, and the observations made thereon by former Commissioner Wren and Mr. Justice Barron, and to report back to Seanad Éireann by 31 March 2006, to be taken without debate; No. 2, Railway Safety Bill 2001 — Second Stage, to be taken on the conclusion of the Order of Business until 2 p.m., spokespersons have 15 minutes and other Senators have ten minutes and Members may share time, with the Minister to be called upon to reply not later than ten minutes before the conclusion of Second Stage. There is much interest in this Bill. There are seven or eight Members on this side who wish to speak and it may be the same on the other side of the House, so the debate does not have to end today.
