Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

Before coming to the Order of Business, I would like to acknowledge the very welcome news today of the rescue of Ingrid Betancourt. It was wonderful to hear it on the news this morning and I congratulate everyone involved. I thank all colleagues for their great support and thank the leaders of all the groups for the all-party motion we had in the House.

The Order of Business is No. 1, Nuclear Test Ban Bill 2006 — Committee and Remaining Stages; No. 2, Chemicals Bill 2008 — All Stages. It is proposed that No. 1 will be taken at the conclusion of the Order of Business, and No. 2 will be taken at the conclusion of No. 1. Spokespersons may speak for eight minutes, all other Senators for six minutes, and Senators may share time with the agreement of the House.
