Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

The Order of Business is Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 25, motion 23. No. 1, Criminal Justice (Mutual Assistance) Bill 2005 — Report and Final Stages, to be taken at the conclusion of the Order of Business and to conclude not later than 12.30 p.m.; No. 2, Parental Leave (Amendment) Bill 2004 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] — Report and Final Stages, to be taken at the conclusion of No. 1 or at 12.30 p.m. if No. 1 has not concluded earlier, and to conclude not later than 1 p.m.; No. 3, Road Safety Authority Bill 2004 changed from Driver Testing and Standards Authority Bill 2004 — Second Stage, to be taken from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., with contributions of spokespersons not to exceed 15 minutes, and those of other Senators not to exceed ten minutes, and the Minister will be called upon to reply not later than ten minutes before the conclusion of Second Stage; and No. 25, motion 23, to be taken from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. There will be a sos from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.

I heard on the radio this morning that Senators and Deputies will be attending in the Dáil Chamber today. Of course, anyone can do so, but in the meantime, we will go through with the legislation. All Senators are contributing to the Road Safety Authority Bill in the afternoon, but earlier in the day, the justice spokespersons for each party will be speaking on the Criminal Justice (Mutual Assistance) Bill and the Parental Leave (Amendment) Bill.
