Regarding the one point that I know Senator Norris raised, this is no mongrel government. I assure him of that.

Senator Mulherin referred to broadband. I would be happy for the Minister, Deputy Naughten, to attend the House to discuss that issue or for the Minister, Deputy Mitchell O'Connor, to discuss its importance for jobs. The House has had a sequence of statements on jobs and I hope to continue with those.

Senator Mac Lochlainn raised the issue of the Coroners (Amendment) Bill. He would receive no objection from this side of the House in that regard. I will ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Creed, to discuss CAP during the statements on farming.

Senator Noone raised the important issue of sugar and obesity. I hope that the Minister of State, Deputy Corcoran Kennedy, can attend the House on that matter. Several Senators mentioned Brexit.

I am happy to accept the amendment to the Order of Business regarding councillors' pay and conditions, assuming Senator Ardagh withdraws her motion.
