I am happy to accept Senator Nash's amendment to the Order of Business. If I am reading it right, the motion is to move the Bill again, so we have to accept that.

In response to Senator Butler, it is great to hear praise for members of our diplomatic corps. We offer our sympathies to the Hanlon family on the tragic death of Ross, and we join Senator Butler in extending our sympathies. It is important to remember, as was noted in Senator Butler's remarks, that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, through the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Simon Coveney, and Ambassador Hanney in Vienna played a huge role in the repatriation of Ross Hanlon's body. To his family and friends, we extend our deepest sympathies on his tragic loss.

We heard from Senators Wilson, McFadden, Horkan, Burke, Ó Domhnaill, Noone, Gallagher, Davitt and Conway. We also heard from Senator Daly. How could I forget Senator Daly?
