I welcome the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Brendan Howlin, to the House.

Before commencing I remind Senators that a Senator may speak only once on Report Stage, except the proposer of an amendment who may reply to the discussion on the amendment. On Report Stage, each amendment must be seconded. I call Senator Thomas Bryne on amendment No. 1.
