The Order of Business is No. 1, Taxi Regulation Bill 2013 - Report Stage, to be taken at the conclusion of the Order of Business and to be adjourned no later than 6 p.m., if not previously concluded, and No. 30, Private Members' business, motion 10, to be taken at 6 p.m. and to conclude no later than 8 p.m.

I wish to advise the House of the arrangements for next week. Following a decision of the Seanad Committee on Procedure and Privileges some time ago, the inaugural Seanad Éireann young Senator student challenge took place and will culminate with a special event in the Seanad Chamber next Tuesday, 23 April from 12.30 p.m. to 2.45 p.m. approximately. The event will see the top 45 entrants participate in an event in which they will have an opportunity to present their essays to members of the Government and ask questions in an Order of Business-style fashion. The Seanad bells will ring for one minute at 12.29 p.m. before the event commences at 12.30 p.m. Senators are welcome to attend the event and those wishing to attend will be accommodated in the available seats and in the Distinguished Visitors Gallery.

I advise the House that the event will take place on Tuesday, which means the Order of Business shall probably be taken at 4 p.m.
