Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

Before we commence I remind the House that a Senator may speak only once on Report Stage, except for the proposer of an amendment who may reply to the discussion of the amendment. Each amendment must be seconded.

Amendments Nos. 1, 4, 5, 15 and 16 are related, are alternatives to each other and will be discussed together by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.
