I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Justice and Equality, Deputy David Stanton, to the House.

A message has been received from the Dáil concerning amendments made by the Seanad to the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill 2017. The message has been set down on the Order Paper. The list of amendments made by the Seanad and considered by the Dáil has been circulated for the information of Members.

The Dáil has not agreed to amendment 30 and desires that Seanad Éireann should not insist thereon. Senators may move, in respect of the original amendment No. 30, either "That the Seanad do not insist on the amendment," or "That the Seanad do insist on the amendment.”

Senators may speak once only except that the proposer of a motion has a right of reply. Any Senator who wishes to move either of the permissible motions may do so now. I ask the Leader to commence.
