The Order of Business is No. 1, motion re: arrangements for the address to the House by the EU Commissioner, Ms Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, on 8 May 2013, to be taken at the conclusion of the Order of Business, without debate; and No. 2, address to Seanad Éireann by Ms Marian Harkin, MEP, to be taken at the conclusion of No. 1, in accordance with the arrangements set out in the motion passed by the House on 25 April 2013.

For the information of the House, I mentioned yesterday in regard to the fodder crisis that I hoped to get the Minister for Agriculture Food and the Maine, Deputy Coveney, to come to the House on Thursday next.

He has confirmed that he will come to the House next Thursday. We will have the debate then, which I am sure is welcome.
