Senators Daly, Bacik, Cullinane and Mullins and other Senators have mentioned the Order of Business, particularly for next Monday. As the Deputy Leader has mentioned, we must deal with the Courts Bill and Prisons Bill. I do not think there is any chance of guillotining such legislation and I think both Bills will be well received by the House. As the Deputy Leader has said, there are some matters in the Bills that need attention and the Government is attending to them. It is unfortunate they have reached the House so late in the legislative cycle of this Government. I regret having to guillotine the International Protection Bill on Monday. I cannot understand how the Department of Justice and Equality can publish a Bill only last week yet produce 80 or 90 amendments this week.
