The next item is in the name of Senator Kevin Humphreys.

For the benefit of new Members, while the Minister, Deputy Harris, is coming, when matters are submitted for the commencement, I try to be fair to the parties when they are sent in first. This time there were three matters from Sinn Féin, of which I chose one, and there were three from Fine Gael, of which I chose one. I tried to achieve a balance between the different groups so that there is not four matters from one party and none from another. I will try to do that as best I can even though this time, with the new groupings, it may be a little more difficult. We will deal with it as we go along and if there are issues I will discuss those with the groups as well.

Senator Humphreys, ar aghaidh leat. The Senator has four minutes.
