Senator Rónan Mullen mentioned the results of recent opinion polls. I note his point in that regard.

A number of Members left the House because they had to attend various committee meetings. I remind the House that as and from 1 March, as fully agreed by the House, Members should not go to meetings prior to or during the Order of Business. That takes into consideration meetings that start at 9.30 a.m. as well as meetings that start at 11 a.m. and 11.30 a.m. and similarly on a Tuesday. That will not operate unless all Members comply with the motion unanimously supported by all sides of the House.
