Hold on. I want you all to pay attention to this. The Chair is always anxious to accommodate, as far as is reasonable, the views of Senators as to the grouping of amendments, and for this purpose generally seeks the assent of the House before proceeding. However, it is ultimately the prerogative of the Chair as the judge of order in the Seanad to rule on methods by which amendments are to be discussed with reference to one another so that duplication of discussion can be avoided.
