Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

The Order of Business is No. 2, statements and questions and answers on mortgage arrears, banking and the economy, to be taken at 3.45 p.m. and to conclude no later than 5.45 p.m. with the contributions of group spokespersons not to exceed eight minutes and a contribution by one Sinn Féin Senator not to exceed three minutes and the contributions of all other Senators not to exceed two minutes when asking a question. I ask Members to be as brief as possible in their contributions on the Order of Business as the Minister of Finance will be in the House for a couple of hours.
