Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)

I welcome back to the House the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Phil Hogan. Before we commence, I remind Members that a Senator may speak only once on Report Stage, except the proposer of an amendment, who may reply to the discussion on the amendment. On Report Stage each amendment must be seconded. Amendments Nos. 1 and 3 are related and may be discussed together, by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.
