I will give the Senator the ruling on the amendment for the record. It is a note for the information of the Chair regarding an amendment that has been ruled out of order. Amendment No. 4 in the name of Senators Warfield, Conway-Walsh, Devine, Gavan, Mac Lochlainn and Ó Donnghaile seeks to amend section 35 of the Statistics Act 1993 so as to allow the 1926 census of the population data to be made available in advance of the standard 100 years, that is, ahead of the scheduled 2026 date. The proposal has the potential to impose a charge on the Revenue and, therefore, the amendment has been ruled out of order in accordance with Standing Order 41. That is the information I have been given. I am not allowed to permit the Senator to speak to the amendment. Senator O'Donnell may contribute in a moment.
