The Order of Business is No. 38, motion regarding the Employment Equality Act 1998 (Section 12) (Church of Ireland College of Education) Order 2013; No. 1, motion regarding the Electricity Regulation Act 1999 (Restricted Electrical Works) Regulations 2013, to be taken on the conclusion of No. 38 without debate; No. 2, Social Welfare and Pensions (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2013 - Committee Stage (resumed), to be taken on the conclusion of No. 1 and to conclude no later than 6 p.m.; and No. 3, Health (Amendment) Bill 2013 - Committee Stage, to be taken at 6 p.m.

As no Committee Stage amendments to the Health (Amendment) Bill have been submitted, and if no further amendments are proposed for Report Stage, I suggest to the House that we deal with Committee and Remaining Stages of that Bill this evening, subject to the agreement of the House. If the House has an objection to that we can have Report Stage on another day.

I know that the shocking revelations in the Anglo Irish Bank telephone conversation recordings have caused anger and resentment and will no doubt be raised on the Order of Business. However, I ask Members to be very careful not to say anything to prejudice what is likely to be a most complex and technical case to be taken in the Irish courts. I ask Members to bear that in mind. I know the anger that people have in that regard.
