Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

The Order of Business is Nos. 1, statements on the sale of State assets, to be taken at 2 p.m. and to conclude no later than 3.30 p.m. with the contribution of group spokespersons not to exceed six minutes, a contribution from one Sinn Féin spokesperson not to exceed two minutes and all other Senators not to exceed one minute when asking a question of the Minister; and No. 2, Road Safety Authority (Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness) Bill 2012 - Committee Stage, to be taken on the conclusion of No. 1 and to conclude no later than 5.30 p.m., if not previously concluded. Immediately following the Order of Business we will be paying tributes to our former colleague, Myles Staunton.

I take this opportunity to express my condolence, and that of the House, to the family and colleagues of Paul Barry, a former usher, whose untimely passing we learned about this morning. I am sure everybody in the House will join me in extending our condolences to Paul's colleagues and family.
