The Order of Business is No. 1, motion of referral of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2020 to the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine, to be taken without debate at the conclusion of the Order of Business; No. 2, motion re reappointment of the Ombudsman, to be taken without debate at the conclusion of No.1; No. 3, motion re reappointment of the Information Commissioner, to be taken without debate at the conclusion No. 2; No. 4, statements on public service broadcasting, to be taken at 4.45 p.m. and adjourned at 6.15 p.m., with the contributions of group spokespersons not to exceed eight minutes each and those of all other Senators not to exceed five minutes each; and No. 5, Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017 - Report and Final Stages, to be taken at 6.15 p.m. and adjourned at 9 p.m., if not previously concluded. For the information of Members, I am proposing that No. 4 be adjourned, rather than conclude, on the basis that many Senators have previously expressed an interest in contributing to the debate and because the Minister, Deputy Bruton, will be unable to be present for it. However, he may be able to come on another day to reply to the statements made, if they do not conclude this afternoon.
