I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection, Deputy Kevin Humphreys, and his officials to the House and wish the Minister of State every success in his Ministry.

Before we commence, I remind Members that a Senator may speak only once on Report Stage, except the proposer of the amendment, who may reply to the discussion on the amendment. On Report Stage, each amendment must be seconded. Amendment No. 1, in the names of Senators Walsh and Mooney, arises from Committee proceedings. Amendments Nos. 1 to 4, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together, by agreement.
