Paddy Burke (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I want to be associated with the thanks to Senator Ivana Bacik, who did an excellent job when the Leader was not present. This House is not run by any one person. It takes everyone here to contribute to the running of the House. I would also take the opportunity to compliment those from the House who have served on the commission, as well as the Ceann Comhairle, who deserves congratulations in that regard. The commission runs the Houses of the Oireachtas and there are over 1,200 people here, between Members, staff, ushers and so on. It is a huge organisation, when we think of it. The Ceann Comhairle did a wonderful job in chairing those meetings and running the Houses, and I thank him for that. I want to wish everybody well in the future.

Senator John Kelly has moved an amendment to the Order of Business, "That No. 11 be taken before No. 1." Is the Leader willing to accept the amendment?
