Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I call the House to order. Before I call on the Acting Leader, Senator Noone, to outline the Order of Business, I want to apologise to Senators Ó Clochartaigh and Colm Burke. Due to votes in the other House the Minister, who had been scheduled to reply to their Commencement matters, had to leave. The matter was outside of my control and I shall facilitate them another time.

Senator Noone, ar aghaidh leat.
