The Order of Business is No. 1, statements on delivering sustainable full employment (resumed) - to be taken at 1.30 p.m., with the contributions of all Members not to exceed six minutes each. For the information of Members, the statements are being taken at 1.30 p.m. because of the new voting arrangements in the Dáil in terms of Ministers and their pairs. They are not necessarily available so therefore our business must coincide because of the voting block in the Dáil. No. 2 is the Misuse of Drugs (Amendment) Bill 2015 - Report and Final Stages, to be taken on the conclusion of No. 1.

Following the request from Members yesterday, both inside and outside the Chamber, statements on the Ibrahim Halawa case will be taken at 3.15 p.m., to conclude not later than 4.15 p.m. and with the contributions of all Senators not to exceed five minutes and the Minister to be given five minutes to reply.

For the information of Members, the Department of Justice and Equality has offered a briefing next week on the proceeds of crime Bill. As a courtesy to Members who wish to avail of that briefing, my office will be happy to facilitate that in terms of the Bill next week.
