Our schedule has been curtailed due to a number of factors. The Committee Stage of the Companies Bill finished last evening. We had allocated three hours today for that Bill. The Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill, which was due in the House this evening, did not finish in the Dáil last evening.

The Order of Business is No. 1, statements on the 750th anniversary of the first Irish Parliament, to be taken at 11.45 a.m. and to conclude no later than 1.30 p.m., with the contributions of group spokespersons not to exceed eight minutes and those of all other Senators not to exceed five minutes, and the Minister to be called on to reply to the debate no later than 1.25 p.m.; and No. 2, Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Bill 2014 - Second Stage, to be taken at 2 p.m., with the contributions of group spokespersons not to exceed ten minutes and those of all other Senators not to exceed six minutes.
