I have been instructed by my ventriloquist, Senator Crown, to propose that we take item No. 52 before item No. 1. I am happy to do so. It looks as though we will have a fair amount of amendments to the Order of Business today, but there we are.

I compliment the Leader of the House, Senator Cummins, who has handled the matter with adroitness and skill. Despite the fact that he was on the Government side, he defended the integrity and rights of Seanad Éireann.
