Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

Before we proceed, I wish to remind Senators that we are dealing with amendment No. 3, which is seeking the provision of an interim report from the commission. We have engaged in a wide-ranging discussion in which contributions have bordered on being more appropriate to Second Stage. I ask Senators to focus specifically on amendment No. 3. We are to conclude our deliberations at 4 p.m. and there are other good amendments which, I am sure, Senators wish to discuss. Senators should, therefore, remain focused and keep their contributions brief.
