My apologies for delaying you somewhat, Minister. There was a delay for the Minister of State, Deputy Kyne, as well and it had a knock-on effect.

I remind Senators that they may speak only once on Report Stage, except the proposer of an amendment, who may reply to the discussion on the amendment. On Report Stage each non-Government amendment must be seconded.

Amendments Nos. 1 and 3 to 9, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together by agreement. Amendments Nos. 1 and 8 are consequential on amendment No. 7. Amendments Nos. 4 to 6, inclusive, are physical alternatives to amendment No. 3.
