Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

It is proposed to take No. 1, Access to Central Treasury Funds (Commission for Energy Regulation) Bill 2011 - all Stages, with Second Stage to be taken at 2 p.m., on which the contributions of group spokespersons are not to exceed eight minutes and those of all other Senators are not to exceed five minutes, with the Minister to be called on to reply not later than 3.25 p.m., and Committee and Remaining Stages to be taken at 3.30 p.m.; and No. 13, motion No. 6 re gendercide, to be taken at 4 p.m. and conclude not later than 6 p.m. Business will be interrupted following the Order of Business until 2 p.m. We had to change our schedule because the Minister for Education and Skills had further amendments to draft to the Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) Bill 2011. The Minister withdrew the legislation on Monday and stated he would not be in a position to take it today. I apologise for the resultant changes to the Order of Business today.
